Kia K3 presentó Parallels

During #Nocturne360xKia, the artistic alliance between Kia K3 and Architecture Social Club created a space for inspiration and reflection in relation to movement and design lines.

This experimental hybrid between architecture, lighting and sound takes the tones and movements of the natural landscape to abstract extremes, to create an absolute light environment through laser technology and lines of innovation, in a swing supported by the sound design of Max Cooper. Thus, a new synesthetic space opened to surround us with ethereal fragments of natural phenomena.
