For Your mobile expectations: BMW H2R project, Olafur Eliasson’s contribution to BMW’s long-running Art Car program, the artist shrouded a hydrogen-powered race car in a new skin of steel mesh, mirror-coated stainless steel, and many layers of ice. Taking the frozen vehicle as a starting point, the speakers at this colloquium address the literal, metaphoric, and and historical connections among art, design, science, and technology, tracking how invention and imagination suggest new ways of living in a threatened world.
