The end justifies the means. Perception is everything.

Environment?

It was an interesting experience where you had to don a large blanket before entering into the large refrigerator space. Once inside the car presented itself in the center of the room like some sort of idol. It was all very dramatic, but standing in front of the piece the connection to its original form as a car was almost entirely lost to me, and it presented itself much more as an object. It looks like they have improved on the implementation of the ice adhering to the structure. It wasn't nearly as rounded and smooth as it looks in the first image. As for what you guys are saying about its connection to sustainability, I hear ya. That said, it was an experience I'm glad I was able to see.
