As a designer and car enthusiast, I’m enthralled by the hypocrisy of oil and car companies' marketing campaigns, which rarely reflect their proclaimed innocuous state of affairs.

"Despite being a concrete thing, oil animates and enables all manner of abstract categories, including freedom, mobility, growth, entrepreneurship, and the future in an essential way—an insight that recent cultural criticism is beginning to use to interrogate the energy-demanding structures and categories of modernity."
- Imre Szeman,“How to Know about Oil”
