Los Angeles-based artist, Mike Ross.

1. What inspired you to make Big Rig Jig?
I am fascinated by power in all its forms, both raw physical force and more abstract forms of political and economic power. And even more broadly, the basic power of humanity to make its own world. The transformed tanker trucks seemed like a potent symbol that connected these ideas together, both exploring their beauty and tying them to the anxieties of our moment in history. http://makezine.com/2013/05/25/mike-ross-big-rig-jig/

WESTERN SUPER MARE, UK: BANKSY’S DISMALAND ~ MIGRANTS ON A BOAT

Published on September 14, 2015October 21, 2020 by jacquelinemhadelLeave a comment

Banksy’s “Immigrants on a Boat”. This traditional seaside slot machine game allows visitors to steer boats across a pool, but with a difference. Numerous boats are packed with migrant workers, but one is a gunboat patrolling below the white cliffs of Dover while the attendant shouts out, “I see no borders, I see no race”. It comes as a shock to visitors to realise the water is littered with dead migrants or to discover they are steering the gunboat. The feeling that these people are human and deserve better is heightened by the intricate and individual detail in each migrant’s face, clothing and posture.
