The Woven Car


"Artists Ann Conte and Jeanne Wiley covered an MG Midget in a weave of overstock seatbelt material." The blogger at Core77 aptly made the connection to Seinfeld's joke about the plane and the black box. Why not make the plane out of the black box. Well, why not made the car out of safety belts. This could be an interesting design feature of new car models. The seatbelt material however, would have to be more durable and stain-proof than traditional seat belts. Being out in the elements the new material would have to be fray-resistant and ward of dirt. "The resultant Woven Car is part of Massachusetts' South Shore Art Center's Media Mix exhibit and will also be on display at Chicago's GreenBuild 2010 later this year."
