What I find particularly interesting in the choice to observe this sculpture of the car as a form of capture, is that prior to looking at this post, I had not considered sculpture to function similarly to photographs/capturing.
As with the invention of cameras altering our relationships with painting as a means of capturing the world on a 2 dimensional plane, molds and casts function to capture in the same way, however with a resulting object as a sculpture or 3 dimensional form: They reproduce and capture a 3 dimensional ‘picture’ of an object. Now, developing technologies with 3D scanning, photogrammetry, 3D printing, and machine casting techniques allow us to create 3 dimensional capture, in a same way as we would capture images/photographs in 2 dimension.
