I can fully understand your sentiment. My cameras are like family to me. Some have been with me for 60+ years. Some are that old. I'd never do that with anyone of them.

I have a couple of family members that I’d like to glue to a van......

I guess the germans call this kind of art, kitsch.
On the othet hand, I had the opportunity to see a real camera van in the 1980s. At a Victor School large format workshop, Doug Busch had a converted ambulance as a camera car and film loading room. Doug made and used cameras from 8x10 to 30x50 inches.
I always wanted a truck with an Ansel Adams type shooting platform on its roof. Closest I ever came was shooting from the bed of my pickup truck.

...I hope my olde Brownie is on there! I love it just for the passion that went into it and leave it at that. It IS art. Good for him...

Thought-provoking! What is this artist trying to say? What does the van say to you? I think of a road trip—-where I see so many great views and wish I could capture them as we wiz past! This took a great deal of planning. I especially like the flash units on the front roof, like a flock of headlights! Better to use the old, non-working cameras like this than have them tossed in a trash site.
Yes Ma'am! (But I think his "plan" was kind've organic and situational...wondering how he started it, maybe after seeing "Dumb and Dumber"?...lol...).

Just wondering what happens when it goes through the car wash. 
Avoids having to buy 20 boxes of Zeiss lens wipes after driving through puddles!
I understand the more sentimental feelings expressed by some here, but I bet all of us would soon wander over to the van to check out all the cameras and ooooh and aaaah when we saw old familiar ones. Non-photographers would probably quickly pass by, but I doubt any Hogs would.

I wonder where he mounted the "Fred Flinstone" camera, the one with the rock-pecking bird etching the scene onto the slab of rock inside.

No one seems to be that impressed with the van
Its basically a camera museum on wheels. High concept and high execution.
Definitly a work of art. Probably worth 10's or possibly 100's of thousands.
Unfourtunatly it evokes disdain, sadness, revultion and a pointlessness
Not the 1st time this has happened to a great piece of art.
Amazing piece and a cool share.
Perhaps using this interactively would be fun. I would make a stop to see this in person and take pictures lol

Often an art gem is missed in passing, with the realization dawning upon the brain afterwards. A good reason for doing a "double take". I make a point to view everything I see first with humor and then get serious about what I am seeing.

It is art - but as stated above, I still have all my cameras. Why? because they are like family and no one ever throws out their outdated hardware. So, my collection will continued to be stored, then looked at from time to time, then given to my son, who will store them, and dust them off, etc. I don't really condone covering a van with them, but in one strange way, they are being used again.
Seems like a lot of you guys are hoarders. At least of cameras.

I have a small camera collection, and I wouldn't treat them this way. Each one is an interesting example of engineering and industrial design. And, by the way, what happens when it rains?
