Aixsponza x Mini Vision Urbanaut
Once again I had the pleasure to collaborate with my friends from Aixsponza. As lead artist I helped them direct, design and animate one of three Mini Eyecandy films.
The MINI Vision Urbanaut embodies what a MINI might look like with a larger and more versatile interior than ever – but still with a minimal footprint. Above all, the Vision vehicle showcases the experiences on offer in keeping with the concept of “Make it your Space”. The name of the new “vision of space” is inspired by its urban roots as well as its versatile character, inviting the driver to explore the full range of possibilities within and beyond city limits in a totally new way. Its spontaneous adaptability opens up fresh perspectives which surprise and excite. The MINI moment Vibe puts togetherness – with family and friends, for example – centre stage. It’s all about having a good time in each other’s company, in every way. Oliver is in his office busy designing the MINI Vision Urbanaut. he imagines what it would be like to use skateboard wheels as tires. in his vision, the car becomes a meeting place where inside and outside merge.
