8 Minutes and 20 Seconds
An interactive light installation during Milan Design Week 2024, including Lexus' Future Zero-emission Catalyst sculpture, holographic trees, and The Interactive Sun.
‘8 Minutes and 20 Seconds’ is an interactive solar installation inspired by the Lexus concept car. The installation showcases a real-life version of the LF-ZC transformed using Organic Photovoltaic solar cells to create a hologram-like display.
The landscape comes to life through sound and light triggered by the visitor’s presence, underlining the importance of our relationship between the sun, ourselves, and the environment.
The car sits amidst holographic trees and a reflecting seating area set against a backdrop of an interactive sun installation.
Designed with 16 Sunne’s, the sun shifts hues when visitors interact with a sensor made from Lexus' bamboo fabric for future vehicles. Touching the fabric prompts the sun to change colour, creating a personal sun experience for each and every visitor.
