An interactive light installation celebrating the 75th anniversary of Lotus and the opening of its new European flagship store.
Exhibited at Lotus Paris during Paris Fashion Week, 09/2023. The piece explores the key features of the Eletre, the first all-electric Hyper-SUV by Lotus – its speed, aerodynamics, and digital innovation. The installation’s pixelated, lo-fi and glitchy design has been inspired from the racing game Lotus Turbo Challenge © (released in the 90s and developed by Magnetic Fields in collaboration with the iconic British carmaker) and retro-futuristic movies. Created entirely through code, it operates at 100 FPS, delivering an analog ambiance through addressable LED strips. This piece offers a unique artistic perspective on the legacy of the brand, bridging the past and future through visual storytelling.
