Brody Condon // Need for Speed (Cargo Cult)

Condon's work contends with the way video games can seep into reality. This work is a rendition of the original wireframe model of a 1985 lamborghini used in the game need for speed. The wireframe is recreated here with abs injected plastic versions of real tree branches.

This work is attractive mainly because of the string of translations. A digital representation of an iconic and expensive object is stripped of it's virtual skin and then remade as a new physical object through the artificial representations of completely unrelated natural objects. The real and natural becoming real and plastic to emulate the non-real and completely ephemeral.
