Media Burn integrates performance, spectacle and media critique, as Ant Farm stages an explosive collision of two of America's most potent cultural symbols: the automobile and television. On July 4, 1975, at San Francisco's Cow Palace, Ant Farm presented what they termed the ""ultimate media event."" In this alternative Bicentennial celebration, a ""Phantom Dream Car""—a reconstructed 1959 El Dorado Cadillac convertible—was driven through a wall of burning TV sets.
