The Love Sub is an Art Car in the finest Burning Man tradition.
Built, designed, lovingly manhandled and kneaded into being by Wilks Wilkinson (Los Angeles, CA) and Marshall Clark (Davis, CA) over a period of 3 years...
It is a constantly evolving mechanical canvas, it is a mobile chillout zone, a make-out room, a hang space.
It moves at an earth shattering 3 1/2 mph and makes you realize that the destination and the journey are truly and uniquely rolled into one when riding in this wonderful machine.
Built in a restored 1958 Airstream Traveler trailer, the interior is painted rich red.
Here's some folk hanging out in it during the BM Decompression 2003 in San Francisco.
There are no traditional residential appliances, tables, bathroom etc, just smooth curved walls and a super comfortable velvet covered bench at both ends. This is what it looks like now in 2004. Pardon the playa dust :)
It is a red safe warm and comfortable place to hang out and get your breath back when out on the playa with all the bling bling lights and noise and alkaline dust that characterizes Burning Man.
Unusually for a trailer, it is self-propelled. Yep, no tow vehicle! Here's Marshall driving it at BM 2004.
