Daniel is in the passenger seat of the art mobile, his trusty driver is

EDWIN WURM (b.1954, Austria)
“Erwin Wurm, one of Austria’s most important and internationally famous sculptors, has been preoccupied with expanding the concept of sculpture since the 1980s. In his “One Minute Sculptures”, for example – temporary, grotesquely comic works – he invites the spectator to become a sculpture, even providing various kinds of accessories for the purpose. What remain are photographs or videos showing a single moment in the short life of these sculptures.” – POSTMEDIA

One Minute Sculptures, 1988-1998

VRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM

Wait, sounds like somebody is screaming from the boot. Ah yes, it’s:

JOHN CURRIN (b.1962, USA)
“In his earlier career, Currin distinguished himself by painting controversial depictions of female subjects, from drab menopausal women to ebullient big-breasted girls. Over the years, his increasingly complex depictions of the figure have continued to repel or enchant, often a peculiar combination of the two. Labeled variously as mannerist, caricaturist, radical conservative or simply prankster, Currin continues to evade categorization.” – GARGOSIAN GALLERY

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

There’s a lorry loaded with ‘terrorists’ down ahead!

The Art of Torture- Lynndie England with the prisoners of Abu Ghraib, c. 2004

Art mobile swerves left to avoid colliding with reality.

“Philip Zimbardo knows how easy it is for nice people to turn bad. In this talk, he shares insights and graphic unseen photos from the Abu Ghraib trials. Then he talks about the flip side: how easy it is to be a hero, and how we can rise to the challenge.” – TEDTALKS

Oh my God. Nolah! It can’t be {:O

On the left lane is a gang of Mat 419 ers.

“An advance-fee fraud is a confidence trick in which the target is persuaded to advance sums of money in the hope of realizing a significantly larger gain.[1] Among the variations on this type of scam, are the Nigerian Letter (also called the 419 fraud, Nigerian scam, Nigerian bank scam, or Nigerian money offer[2]),[3] the Spanish Prisoner, the Black money scam as well as Russian/Ukrainian scam (also extremely widespread, though far less popular than the former). Both the so-called Russian and Nigerian scams stand for wholly dissimilar organised crime traditions, they therefore tend to use altogether different breeds of approaches.”- Wikipedia

Art mobile makes a quick zig, fooling the scammers ,

The Art of Scam Baiting I - original source unknown

“Scam baiting is the practice of pretending interest in a fraudulent scheme in order to manipulate a scammer. The purpose of scam baiting might be to waste the scammers’ time, embarrass him or her, cause him or her to reveal information which can be passed on to legal authorities, get him or her to waste money, or, in the great majority of cases, simply to amuse the baiter…A small number of scam baiters have convinced their scammers to send money to them… Other baiters have succeeded in getting their scammers to send them art or other “trophies” as evidence of completed work for the baiter, which is, of course, never paid.” – Wikipedia

and a fast zag,

but art mobile can’t trick everyone!

Behavioral economist Dan Ariely studies the bugs in our moral code: the hidden reasons we think it’s OK to cheat or steal (sometimes). Clever studies help make his point that we’re predictably irrational — and can be influenced in ways we can’t grasp. – TEDTALK

WILL DANIEL SURVIVE THE ART MOBILE’S TRIP ON THE TWISTED ROAD OF LIFE?
