View Suspended is an art installation by Paul Veroude in which a Mercedes F1 car was 'exploded' into 3,200 parts, each part suspended by string tethered to the ceiling of Mercedes-Benz World's F1 exhibition in Surrey, UK.
"Now, Logan's backing me up so--"
"I know, I know. I've chosen the wrong, the wrong-- These two are a tag team. They've got themselves fully up each other's, um, whatever you want to call it."
"It is hard to describe what I felt looking at that car. The closest phrase I have at my disposal is the technological sublime. I pictured a living, breathing animal of extraterrestrial origin, hooked up to a thousand arcane sensors that delivered messages in little pulses. All the tubes and sculpted carbon-fiber parts and the endless net of wires all working in service to the godhead engine, formed something totally incomprehensible to me, a feat of engineering so vast it breached the realm of magic."
- Kate Wagner, "Behind F1's Velvet Curtain" [archived 03/01/24 article from Road and Track]
