Future Pasadena is a video presenting student work from recent design courses and sponsored projects with Lincoln and Genesis envisioning future mobility scenarios for Pasadena. Scale models (l/4) created by students Hu Hao, Frank Guan and Jun Yeop Hwang during internships at Honda R&D America are included in the exhibition and explained in a video, accompanied by an animated video of an Audi branded vertical take-off and landing vehicle designed by student Aven Shi. The final monitor in the ArtCenter exhibition space features the evolution of auto design and Lincoln’s mentorship program with ArtCenter, which tasked a group of 22 students to imagine the future of Lincoln’s “Quiet Flight” ethos in 2040 vehicles. An augmented reality experience showcasing two 1/3 scale Genesis models designed by ArtCenter graduates Gurminder Bhandal and Edward Tsent will be included with the student work.
Students will be sharing space with legends such as R. Buckminster Fuller, Constantin Brancusi, Andy Warhol, and Frank Lloyd Wright.
