Olafur Eliasson: bmw art car
Here is some beautiful work from Olafur Eliasson. We will be having an upcoming profile but for now you can enjoy these tasty treats.
The longstanding interest of the Danish artist Olafur Eliasson in the connection between natural phenomena and industrial technology is reflected in his discourse with the BMW H2R racing car. In this forward-looking car, one that is powered by hydrogen, the features of extreme speed and environmental friendliness are no longer diametrically opposed to each other. The presentation of the 16th BMW Art Car, for which Eliasson replaced the outer covering of the H2R prototype with a fragile layering of ice, is to be premiered in Munich. via pinakothek
The danish artist olafur eliasson’s longstanding interest the connection between natural phenomena and industrial technology is reflected in his discourse with the BMW H2R racing car. eliasson was commissioned by BMW to develop the ‘16th BMW art car‘ back in 2005 and he has been closely collaborating with architects and scientists since then - on the project which will be unveiled in munich this may.
The hydrogen powered car is designed to quash the concept that eco-friendly cars can’t be fast. eliasson’s car features a 2 layer skin made of reflective metal, covered with fragile layers of ice in a bid to reflect the themes of mobility, renewable energies and the relationship between car production and global warming in an artistic manner. via designboom
