My Skoda collection took a strange twist right at the end. Throughout the semester I used Skodas in animation experiments, eventually my experiments lead to a fluid waving body which reminded me of a deep sea creature. The sea creature like movement allowed me to shape my abstract ideas into a (semi) familiar form. This was a relief because the purely abstract animations were proving to be a bit boring. The idea then became to create a Skoda ocean of creatures interacting with one another. I was only able to develop four creatures, if this idea had surfaced earlier I would have made a multitude of creatures for the show. I plan to continue the idea using autos from outside the Czech Republic and perhaps random household objects. We’ll see what happens. I wish I could say the fish-cars were a metaphor for Skoda being the life-force of Prague or commentary on the commercialization of the natural world but it was truthfully a random result of experimentation. Accidentally creepy.
