Renowned artist Esther Mahlangu is part of the six selected artists whose artwork will transform the 100% electric BMW i5 into a dynamic canvas of distinct generative art.
The AI (Artificial Intelligence) generates entirely new abstract animations based on learned styles from classical and contemporary art, which are then projected onto the car.
“With The Electric AI Canvas, virtual and physical worlds collide, and the connection between human senses and artificial intelligence as a tool to create new artworks can be experienced,” said Paul de Courtois, president and CEO at BMW (Switzerland) on the brand’s website.
Mahlangu has enjoyed a good working relationship with the German car brand for over 30 years now. The Ndebele artist is the first woman to create artwork on a BMW 525i Sedan turning it into a unique and colourful BMW Art Car.
