Modern art “artist” Jeremy Dean turns Hummer H2 into a horse drawn carriage…right…
I’m not really against art, I guess I just don’t always get it. The video above shows modern artist Jeremy Dean turning a Hummer H2 into a horse drawn carriage. His explanation for this project can be found at Autoblog but I still don’t get it. He says that the Cadillac Escalade and Hummer H2 have become monuments to America’s consumption, greed and arrogance. Sadly, I don’t understand why he chooses to focus on SUV’s, in particular, two that were built by a Detroit automaker. Why didn’t he focus on the huge houses that people live in? Houses that are way bigger than we actually need? The market allowed cheap gas to be readily available and financing was easy to come by, so everyone bought the biggest and best automobile they could afford. I wish I could do a piece of art making fun of art, but then people might actually like it, and I would helping out a field in which I don’t really believe in. Oh brother…

I guess you could say that Hummer uses some real “horsepower” now!

Yea, probably only somewhere in the 1-4 horsepower range though…
