For Audi, the future is a space – for ideas, innovations and designs. By re-thinking design and approaching it from inside out, the Audi Grandsphere concept demonstrates a human-centric experience, a personal sphere.

Audi, in collaboration with digital artist and designer Andrés Reisinger introduce the car manufacturer’s first digital artwork at Design Miami/. The original piece is inspired by the Audi grandsphere concept; following Milan Design Week and two Chinese exhibitions in Beijing and Shenzhen, Design Miami/ is the fourth design exhibition Audi will have visited in 2022.

“Audi believes in working together with like-minded people to create meaningful and fascinating experiences that will shape premium mobility and design. Together with Andrés Reisinger we will explore a sphere beyond a physical installation, digitally re-interpreting interior design.“ – Henrik Wenders (Head of Brand Audi).

Digital art piece, inspired by the Audi Grandsphere concept

The digital art piece is inspired by the Audi grandsphere automotive concept. This approach illustrates the luxury brand’s stance on defining the progressive, premium mobility of the future. For Audi, this includes offering new high-class experiences made possible through the advancing digitalization in the vehicle interior, for instance the Audi Grandsphere concept transforms from a mere automobile into an “experience device.”

Automated driving at level 4 opens up new dimensions of freedom. In this mode, the interior of the luxury sedan transforms into a spacious experiential realm for drivers, with no steering wheel, pedals, or instruments. The space, architecture and features are shaped by the driver’s needs and desires and it is exactly this personal sphere that Reisinger replicated with his artwork, translating the immersive experiential world of the Audi grandsphere concept into his virtual world of architecture and color.

Reisinger has thus created a seemingly surreal scope that transcends the boundaries between realism and fiction, depicting the expanded reality that surrounds the passengers in the concept car.

An exclusive panel talk with the artist is also on the agenda at Design Miami/ – Tara Rush (CMO Audi of America), Arthur Casas (architect and founder of Studio Casas) and Immo Redeker (Team Leader Audi Interior Design) will also participate in the discussion alongside Reisinger.
