Arthur Wicks's Peace Car is the third in a series of machines in which the artist reflects on mechanisation. He sees the machine as a moment of expression of this century and in this sense he is connected with the Futurist Movement at the beginning of this century. The machine is nowadays only a reminder of its development, for today, instead of material content, we favour streams of information. The same holds true for the armoured car of Arthur Wicks. It spans different times because it copies the original form of a mechanical apparatus and at the same time confronts us with the possible loss of all machines.
