SVX as a work of art. Great Video!
 

I just found this amazing video of an SVX being installed as a WORK OF ART!!!

This is the description from YouTube:

Now on exhibit in the escalator shaft of the Cascade Complex is " Pleiades Industriel/Cafesjian Transporter, 2010". This pop-art sculpture was created from an actual car -- a Subaru SVX, designed by famous Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro. Born in 1938, Giugiaro is responsible for the design of a number of supercars and several of the most popular everyday vehicles driven today. Giugiaro was named Car Designer of the Century in 1999 and inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 2002. The Subaru SVX, introduced to the market in 1991 as Subaru's first luxury car, is one of his notable works, along with the Ford Mustang Concept Car of 1966, four Alfa Romeo cars and many others. The concept for this silver, interactive pop-art sculpture originated with Gerard L. Cafesjian and was executed by the Center's Exhibition Department staff.

I must admit...I posted this before getting to the end of the video.

I am quite distraught that what looked like a MINT condition SVX got totally sprayed....but....that's art!

Hopefully its just a water-based type paint that will come off with soap and high-pressure hose.

SVX is already an art without doing anything....

At least they didn't destroy like some other artist did to this nice Porsche.

almost seems to fit in place for some sort of futuristic movie background prop instead of 'art'
