Digital art piece, inspired by the Audi grandsphere concept
The digital art piece is inspired by the Audi grandsphere concept, which will also be on display in Miami. This approach illustrates the brand’s stance on defining the progressive, premium mobility of the future. For Audi, this includes a vision of new high-class experiences made possible through the advancing digitalization in the vehicle interior, for instance the Audi grandsphere concept transforms from a mere automobile into an “experience device.”
Audi envisions a future where automated driving at level 4 opens up new dimensions of freedom. In this mode, the interior of the luxury sedan transforms into a spacious experiential realm for drivers, with no steering wheel, pedals, or instruments. The space, architecture and features are shaped by the driver’s needs and desires and it is exactly this personal sphere that Reisinger replicated with his artwork, translating the immersive experiential world of the Audi grandsphere concept into his virtual world of architecture and color.
Reisinger has thus created a seemingly surreal scope that transcends the boundaries between realism and fiction, depicting the expanded reality that surrounds the passengers in the concept car.
Panel talk with Andrés Reisinger
An exclusive panel talk with the artist is also on the agenda at Design Miami/ – Tara Rush (Chief Marketing Officer, Audi of America), Arthur Casas (architect and founder of Studio Casas) and Immo Redeker (Team Leader Audi Interior Design) will also participate in the discussion alongside Reisinger which will include conversation about designing fascinating new immersive spaces und experiences – ranging from digital spaces, new automotive mobility and interior concepts.
