A cinematic experience doused in film noir atmospherics, Signal 30 is a simulation of a fatal impact, seen from the driver’s seat of a luxury automobile on its way to a date with death. Sit back and relax in the anesthetic comfort of a ’66 Chevy, as the road ahead brings you closer and closer to the end of the line.
This installation was comprised of a reconstituted 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne, three projections, three stereos and a light system. The front of the car was made to look as if it had experienced a dreadful impact. The car was a also a cinema. The gallery visitor could sit in the front seat and see, projected onto the windshield, a first-person ride through a high-speed galaxy of city lights, ending with a death-drive straight into a wall. All the knobs, buttons and dials on the dashboard were lit from behind and glowed radiant blue and green. The visitor would also hear a montage of vintage radio programs and music emanating from the dashboard, while the sounds of the engine and wheels on asphalt rumbled under their feet. In the rear-view mirror, the visitor would see the road behind them rapidly receding as day magically became night, courtesy of a large wall projection behind the vehicle. The effect was like being in a driving scene of an old movie, complete with soundtrack.
Separate from the car, but creating a dialogue with it, was another video projection comprised of shots from Impact 66, the original promotional film for the Biscayne, a demolition derby, old wrecks in a junkyard piled high on top of one another, menacing city tower blocks, and extracts from muddy 1950s driver’s safety films, including the one from which this installation borrows its title.
This video was projected on the wall of the gallery in front of the automobile.
