Abstract
Cars are machines with which we have complicated and ambivalent relations. Automobility considers the car as vehicle in multiple senses: as a vehicle of mobility and constraint, of representation and rituals, of communication and cultural meaning, of production and power, of desire and destruction. The artwork and research are rooted in an examination of my own relationship to the car, of relations I have observed in other people, and an exploration of the spaces, places, and practices designed for cars.
