Munich/Miami Beach. On the occasion of Art Basel in Miami Beach 2022 Superblueand BMW i will present Rafael Lozano-Hemmer’s immersive installation “Pulse Topology”. This collaboration invites visitors to enjoy the poetry of a human-centric approach to technological innovations and can be experienced at Superblue’s space in Allapattah, Miami from November 2022 - August 2023. The exhibition will be complemented by a special art environment inside the BMW i7 by Lozano-Hemmer from November 28 - December 4.

Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Superblue and BMW i share a vision to create forward looking experiences that look towards a sustainable future where art and technology can create human experiences for retreat, joy and social connection. A foremost principle for BMW i is creating a new understanding of luxury into an era that will be shaped by groundbreaking innovations in the fields of sustainability and digitalization. Central to this reinterpretation is the BMW i7 which has inspired the collaboration.

“Pulse Topology” in Miami Beach will be composed of 3,000 lightbulbs suspended at different heights, creating a series of crests and valleys – an intimate landscape that visitors are invited to traverse. Each lightbulb glimmers to the pulse of a previous participant. Custom-made pulse sensors record visitors’ new heartbeats; when a participant interacts with the installation, their pulse is added to the canopy of recordings above them, replacing the oldest recording. Forming a platform for self-representation, in “Pulse Topology” individual heartbeats come together to create an immersive chorus of light and sound.

Inspired by conversations with BMW engineers and designers, Lozano-Hemmer and his studio will use the same technology as in “Pulse Topology” to activate the BMW i7’s interior with a visitor’s heartbeat tangible in light, sound and graphics. This symbiotic relationship can be seen as an extension of the i7’s use of light to create a meaningful connection with its driver.

CO2 emission information.

Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.

All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures is also available at www.bmw.de/wltp.

For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the “Manual on the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars”, available at sales outlets free of charge, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
