Although this may not truly be Earth Art, I think this is a really interesting vehicle I saw in Puerto Rico. At the salt flats, the workers needed these vehicle whose main body is composed of wood when transporting the salt. The high salinity in the area would cause normal cars to rust quickly thus such a vehicle was necessary. I really like how the workers took a creative approach by using simple wood boards to give the vehicle its structure and protect the engine. From far one might not even notice that this car was made from so much wood.
True, I would not even think that a car made of wood to transport something so heavy is stable. It is interesting how a material that is so easily obtained is better than something like metal. Maybe this concept could be applied to other aspects of technology
