The international art fair Frieze Los Angeles is back, and the BMW Group presents the BMW i5 Flow NOSTOKANA – a one-of-a-kind fusion of art and innovation. We not only had the chance to have a closer look at this exceptional vehicle beforehand, where BMW's colour-change technology with the artistic flair of South African artist Esther Mahlangu merge, we also had a little chat with BMW’s engineer Stella Clarke, who had the idea for the E-Ink technology. The BMW i5 Flow NOSTOKANA, named after Mahlangu’s first son, features electronically animated film sections that adorn the vehicle's roof, bonnet, rear, and sides. Renzo Vitale, PhD, BMW Group's Creative Director of Sound, crafted a unique sound experience for the BMW i5 Flow NOSTOKANA, blending the brand's essence with South African Ndebele culture using Mahlangu's voice, the sound of her painting tools, and even the BMW design studio's colour pencils' sounds, creating a rich auditory experience synchronised with the visual animations.
