Car People is a live video feed that directly engages the car culture of Taos and the community. New York based artist, Elizabeth Orr, will video cars, traffic, and interview individuals about their cars. Projected onto a large wall the piece creates a live document of the car culture of Taos, a video portrait of the community with their cars. Viewers will perhaps recognize their friends, family in the community, along with visitors to The Paseo Festival.
