We Are Car
We Are Car employs a running motorbike engine controlled via MIDI as a musical instrument in order to record and subvert selected rock classics, exploring parallels of emotional thrills induced by acceleration, speed and rock.
The project’s final outcome eventually manifested itself as a CD release, with each CD being accompanied by an especially commissioned perfume based on motor oil - the launch event took place at the ICA in September 2006.
We Are Car has been a collaboration with Chris Lum aka Xper.Xr, funded by the Arts Council England.
