What happens when you cross a tank with a library? Artist Raul Lemesoff decided to find out by constructing a “Weapon of Mass Instruction.”
The video embedded above (created by the 7 Up soda company) showcases Lemesoff’s creation making visits to different communities within Argentina. MyModernMet.com reports that free books were given away to pedestrians who encountered this vehicle.
Here’s more from Mental Floss: “Less of a weapon, and more of a moving library, Lemesoff created a new way to spread information and ideas. The artist converted a 1979 Ford Falcon into a tank-like vehicle, complete with an upper chamber and barrel (it doesn’t shoot books, unfortunately). The book-tank features enough shelf space for 900 books, from novels to poetry.” (via Bored Panda)
