BMW Art Car #18 by Cao Fei
After its race premiere in Macau, the 18th BMW Art Car by contemporary multimedia artist #caofei will be displayed at the #BMW Lounge. As a reflection on the speed of change in China, on tradition and future, #caofei approached the #BMWArtCar in a way typical for her artistic practice, building a parallel universe. The body of work consists of three different components: a video focusing on a time traveling spiritual practitioner, augmented reality features picturing colorful light particles, accessible via a dedicated app (App Store: keyword “BMW Art Car #18”), and the #BMW M6 GT3 racecar in its original carbon black. Paying tribute to the carbon fiber structure of the racecar chassis, Cao Fei’s holistic use of a non-reflective black incorporates the car into the possibilities of the digital world.
