| A car - like an organism - is an expression of its habitat. When making a visual survey of concept-car-art it is striking to see how often they show machines populating asphalt desert landscapes. Perhaps unwittingly these are statements about the future relationships between cars and their environment. How we relate to landscapes is studied by ecologists, poets, artists, farmers, cooks, etc. This prototype therefore starts from a transdisciplinary approach, not in the context of a desert, but a biodiverse European landscape and within a longterm view of interacting populations surfing collectively on the geological and environmental currents that carry them. | A car - like an organism - is an expression of its habitat.

The Mammoth might be an interesting model-organism because of its carrying capacity and range. | + | As a starting point I propose looking at former mega-fauna of the European continent, whose ecological niches may be vacant.
