Welcome to the Los Angeles based Prehistoryk Sqysh Fysh Mutant Vehicle group.

Big Picture:
2008 was the PSF's first year on the playa. Now that we have some experience with this beast, the current goal is to improve on the existing design, including ease of assembly, improve its aesthetic and safety features, perhaps add an aerial performance rig.

Creative direction:
The creative direction is loosely based on the deep sea angler fish (Fanfin seadevil, Caulophryne Jordani) as the starting point, but with a lantern added for effect). She's spiky, mean, and badass. With the 2008 theme "The American Dream", our fish had one key difference. Paying homage to Simpson's blinky fish, our's also has a third eye, a mutation as a result of environmental contamination. The 2009 theme of evolution almost lends itself to this creature.

Safety:
This is our primary concern. The structure was overdesigned to accomodate more than enough riders on the trailer and on deck. Serious engine work was performed to keep the van in good working order. Playa riders are directed to a safe entrance/exit from the stopped vehicle. The vehicle operates with several members around the vehicle watching out for the riders and obstacles.

Thanks, and hope to see you on the playa!
