CARBON COPY was developed to explore intersections between cars, commerce, mass production, consumer culture, surrealism, glitch aesthetics, and everyday spaces. Literally built from the body of a 1988 Plymouth Caravelle (with Chevrolet hubcaps), CARBON COPY is a playful monument to North American’s obsession with car culture.

An intervention in plain sight, the artwork is installed on the corner of a parking lot in the Edmonton Brewery District. At night, the artwork’s signal lights and tail light glow, and a scanner bar strobes the surrounding parking lot every 20 seconds.
