HallowZeen Summer 2003 Volume 1, Issue 4 Page 1 If cars dream, their gas-driven minds may just dream of Carthedral. The creation of Rebecca Caldwell, Carthedral started life as a 1971 Cadillac hearse that, in 1999, Rebecca started changing into what is known as an “art car”—a vehicle permanently, Carthedral artistically changed. Tailfins from a 1959 Cadillac were attached to Carthedral, followed quickly by the body of a VW beetle which replaced the vehicle’s original roof and allows a person to stand up inside the car. Gargoyles, spires and stained glass windows have transformed the ordinary into a mobile What Dreams gothic cathedral that is awe-inspiring, almost daunting to see. And, really, these words don’t do Carthedral justice. May Imagine the art of Antoni Gaudi or Zdzilaw Beksinski reflected in metal. Think of the mechanical creations of Mad Max 2: The Road Warriors brought to a physical life. One looks at Carthedral and can envision a world where Come churches are transportable, and a passion for art is realized with a welding torch. Rebecca’s life seems intimately connected to her creation. She lives in Carthedral, calling it more a mobile home than a commuter vehicle. It is her imagination that has caused the car to become what is, and her hands that have wrought the physical changes. She takes pride in the fact that she alone is responsible for her art car, and she takes Carthedral to various events on the west coast—the Burning Man Festival, Art Car (Above, Lower right) Rebecca Caldwell with her “art car”—Carthedral.

Being stuck on the East Coast, I’ve not had the chance to per- sonally meet Rebecca, or see her car in person. Images of the two together reveal a passion for art, and a connection between them that whispers of powerful emotion. But to only be able to see Carthedral is to miss out on part of its artistic appeal, as Rebecca has gone to great lengths to affect as many senses with Carthedral as possible. The car is equipped with an external sound system. The stained glass windows, made of glass shat- (Upper left) Detail of catacombs tered by a hammer and pieced back together again using a (Above) Detail of rear portal. mosaic-like technique, are punctuated and outlined with various Photos by Rebecca Caldwell low-level lighting to emphasize and outline the art depicted on (Lower left) Rebecca and Bella in the back of Carthedral the panes.

In a lesser cre- (Photo by Steffanos X) ation, all that’s been incorporated into Carthedral might be over- whelming or ugly—and, indeed, Rebecca’s received such nega- tive bits of feedback in the past. But I think that, in the end, one must approach art such as what Rebecca has wrought with an open mind, and perhaps an open hand. She is speaking to us of a celebration of darkness and flaws, wild imagination and a quiet firm flaunting of the tra- ditional ideas of what cars and women and art should be able to accomplish. There are, ultimately, no accepted boundaries in what has become Carthedral. I can’t think of a better dream to indulge in.

  • "Science Fiction and the Sublime"
    "Science Fiction and the Sublime" Darren J Jorgensen B.A. (Hons.) This thesis has been awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy with Distinction at the University of Western Australia. English, Communication and Cultural Studies 2005. 2 Acknowledgements With immense gratitude to all the staff in the Department of English, Communication and Cultural Studies at the University of Western Australia, whose support during the writing of this thesis was unfailingly warm and constant. Especially to my supervisor, Van Ikin, as well as to Sue Lewis, James Toher, Judith Johnson and my fellow postgraduates, Jo Gray, Lorraine Sim, Duc Dao and Tama Leaver. For crucial intellectual feedback, thanks to Ian McLean in the Department of Architecture and Fine Arts, who co-supervised my final two years. For an updated version of the arguments herein, please see the published version, which I hope should be out sometime in 2007. 3 Abstract This thesis makes three assertions. The first is that the sublime is a principal pleasure of science fiction. The second is that the conditions for the emergence of both the sublime and science fiction lie in the modern developments of technology, mass economy and imperialism. Maritime and optical technologies; the imagination that accompanied imperialism; and the influence of capitalism furnished the cognition by which the pleasures of both science fiction and the sublime came into being. The third claim is that a historical conception of the sublime, one that changes according to the different circumstances in which it appears, offers privileged insights onto changes within the genre. To make such extensive claims it has been necessary to make a cognitive map of the development of both the sublime and science fiction.
