Chris Ferreria's project, "Some Kindly Monster," was inspired by the expressive car culture that defines much of Southern California, and in particular the communities of Southeast San Diego and National City. By bringing together two distinct car customizers, who wouldn't normally collaborate together, Ferreria sought to create a monster vehicle that would embody his co-participants divergent aesthetics. In addition, Ferreria enlisted the contribution of three locally based DJs who created new recordings based on sampled field recordings taken from specific neighborhoods in San Diego. -- inSite_05
