Description
The Offworld Technologies Corporation promotional vehicle magicvan3000 was a 1971 VW bus driven around in California USA between 1997 and 2001 by Offworld Technologies Corporation's CXO Stephane Poirier - SPI ro simply spi. In 1999, after the Offworld Multimedia Art Gallery event in Santa Barbara, André Labbé, highly talented set and scenic painter from Montreal, Quebec in Canada coated the clean-dipper color 1971 VW surfmobile painting a robot organic fractal ocean texture. At the question, often thrown by police officers performing driver checks, 'What is your vehicle color?', I would always reply, 'Ocean', 'Ocean Color'. The magicvan3000's scenic paint coat is called Oceanware (Offworld Technologies's Oceanware). According to André Labbé's design, the force of the ocean (on wave rising) had to transform into the power of the horses (on wave piping) which gave wings to the horses (on wave breaking) and, finally, all symbolized within the Greek mythology illustrated on front of the vehicle. According to the driver, spi - Surfing on Love project architect, that side of the vehicle represents the beautiful path of the free spirit (riding). Driver Side shows a zoom on the whole Offworld Technologies Corporation's Oceanware. For spi, the driver, this side of the van earned a driver's caress after each engine temperature check. And god knows, there has been many engine temperature checks for four VW engines were blown in this four years time frame and the engines were literally drinking 'oil'.
