Expresso Carwash
246 Nicholson St,
Fitzroy

Take your car to the carwash and give it a ritual cleansing for the android age.

As the looming carwash robot goes about its work, tune in to a synchronised soundtrack from inside your vehicle, matched to the robot’s graceful movements. ‘Immersive’ in more ways than one, Crush takes place amid the hiss of water jets and whirr of brushes – an automated ceremony for gears and ears, curiously evoking the drive-in cinema.

Cocooning the audience in that most familiar of spaces – the car interior – Crush imbues a banal task with ceremony and takes a sonically powerful look at the future of our relationships with machines.
