VAN CLEEF & ARPELS × GENEVA

POETIC ASTRONOMY

Wear the orbit. Hold the day.

BMW × MARIO KART

RAINBOW ROAD

Every drift changes the track.

A 200-foot indoor electric kart circuit uses a continuous LED floor to render a responsive Rainbow Road beneath real vehicles. BMW chassis tuning and projection tracking turn an arcade fantasy into a precise physical drive.

PRADA × VENICE

THE GRAND CANAL MIRROR

Venice wears its own reflection.

During the Biennale, a razor-thin mirrored runway floats at water level on the Grand Canal, reflecting Gothic façades, sky, and moving water beneath Prada's waterproof outerwear.

MIT TECHNOLOGY REVIEW × NASCAR

THE INVISIBLE FLUID

See the air decide the race.

A high-art wind-tunnel demonstration places two Next Gen stock cars inches apart while colored smoke and laser particles reveal drafting, side-drafting, and unstable wake behavior.

OMEGA × LOKI

THE SACRED TIMELINE

For all time. Always.

A brass-and-marble chronometer chamber places Omega precision inside the TVA's mechanical world. A glowing hourglass and concentric gears turn timekeeping into spatial theater.

CLAIR OBSCUR × MAISON MARGIELA

THE GOMMAGE ATELIER

Thirty-three looks. One vanishing canvas.

A Belle Époque couture runway is laid in wet canvas. As a suspended Paintress moves through the room, pigment mist transforms white silk into distressed chiaroscuro while a live quartet holds the tension.

SPOTIFY × THE BACKROOMS

THE UNUSED FREQUENCY

Build the playlist that gets you out.

Spotify turns late-night listening into an audio map through a procedural Backrooms maze. Each personalized playlist changes the route, room tone, and spatial cues around the listener.

DIOR × VERSAILLES

THE LIGHT-LOOM

Cut light into couture.

A 100-foot gold-chrome glass monolith nearly disappears into the Grand Trianon gardens. Inside, refracted sunlight moves through raw silk threads and casts lace and houndstooth patterns onto floating organza gowns.

IKEA × WANDA MAXIMOFF

THE HEX SHOWROOM

A room for every reality.

A walk-through IKEA showroom begins as a 1950s living room and shifts through grayscale, 1970s, 1980s, and contemporary sets as visitors cross hidden pressure zones.

MOMA × WANDA MAXIMOFF

CONSTRUCTED REALITY

Reach out. Unmake the picture.

Three monumental gilded family portraits respond to visitor gestures. Crimson fiber-optic threads pull painted figures apart into light structures that hover beyond the canvas.

LEICA × NASCAR

STEEL & ASPHALT

No filters. Just steel, fire, and bone.

Leica documentary photographers receive full access to garages, pit road, and victory lane. The work removes broadcast color and spectacle to focus on hands, faces, rubber, heat, and damaged metal.

VOUGHT INTERNATIONAL / VNN

TRUTH. PATRIOTISM. VOUGHT.

Twenty-four hours inside the company line.

A major network becomes VNN for one day. Corporate anchors, market segments, crime reports, and loyalty graphics rewrite every story through Vought's immaculate propaganda system.
