Volkswagen: ID.R as an organism 🎥
LEARNABLE GRAFFITI ARTWORK The street artist Nychos has dissected the record-breaking electric vehicle in a painterly way. He interprets it as a living organism with organs, skeleton and blood circulation. The time-lapse video shows the creation of the graffiti artwork at the freely accessible artist's yard NDSM in Amsterdam. Works of art by Nychos can be admired in numerous countries.

Works of art by Nychos can be admired in numerous countries. The headquarters of his company "Rabbit Eye Movement" is located in Vienna. The style of the 37-year-old Austrian was already shaped in his childhood. This can best be described by dissection, cross-section and X-ray influences.
Living organism
Just as Romain Dumas has already faced several challenges with the Volkswagen ID.R, it was also an extraordinary task for Nychos to dissect a car in this way. He reinterpreted the electric racing car as a living organism. Thus, it features a heart instead of the battery pack, two brains instead of the two combined 500 kW (680 hp) motors, and ribs instead of the roll cage.
With the help of the free "Artivive" app, the disassembled ID.R can be brought to life either on the computer or on site in Amsterdam. After downloading and opening the app, the work of art is brought to life with the help of augmented reality.
And this is how it is done
Simply point the app, which works supported by the smartphone camera, at the motif or a photo of the graffiti on the computer. Then the ID.R first assembles itself into a complete racing car, transforms into a x-rayed ID.3 and finally drives a demo lap across the cell phone screen as an animated 3D model.
In this way, Nychos, together with Volkswagen, uses artistic means to express how the technical knowledge gained from previous record-breaking runs finds its way from racing into the genes of Volkswagen's electric production vehicles.
