Homeless+Vehicle+Project

Artist: Krzysztof Wodiczko Place: Poland, Canada, New York City About: **"this vehicle is neither a temporary nor a permanent solution to the housing problem,**
 * it articulates the fact that people are compelled to live on the street and that this is unacceptable.**
 * through discussions with those people in new york city, a proposal for a vehicle to be used both for**
 * personal shelter and can and bottle collection and storage was developed. an earlier design was**
 * shown to potential users and modified according to their criticism and suggestions. it is not put**
 * forward as a finished product, ready for use on the streets, it attemps to function as a visual analog**
 * to everyday objects of consumption, such as food vendor carts. it bears a resemblance to a weapon,**
 * the movement of carts through new york are acts of resistance.**" - http://www.designboom.com/eng/archi/wodiczko.html
