Lexus UX and Mercury Technology: The Intersection of Art, Innovation, and Electric Vehicles
TL;DR: Lexus, in collaboration with Mercury Technology Solution, is launching a unique "phygital" NFT experience for its first electric car, the Lexus UX300E. This project, featuring artwork by designer Joe Kwan, blends digital art with the physical vehicle, creating a cultural moment in the automotive and art industries. The NFTs will be available for auction on the Ethereum-powered Arts Liberty platform.
A New Era for Lexus and Electric Vehicles
As the CEO of Mercury Technology Solution, I am excited to announce our collaboration with Crown Motors Limited (CML) on an innovative project featuring Lexus's first electric vehicle, the Lexus UX300E. This initiative is not just about embracing electric vehicles, but also about creating a cultural moment that merges art, technology, and sustainability.
The Creative Vision: Joe Kwan's Pop Art NFT
In a pioneering move, CML has partnered with local designer Joe Kwan to create a unique series of NFTs. Known for his multidisciplinary approach, Joe Kwan has worked with international artists and organizations, including NASA and Daniel Arsham, to push the boundaries of design.
This collaboration celebrates the launch of the Lexus UX300E Special Edition through "phygital" NFTs—a fusion of digital media and the physical Lexus vehicle. Each NFT package includes an exclusive video, illustration, and digital piece commemorating the Lexus UX300E Limited Edition.
Unveiling the NFTs: A Digital Auction on January 15th, 2022
These exclusive NFTs will be auctioned on January 15th, 2022, via the Ethereum-based platform Arts Liberty. This digital marketplace, developed in collaboration with Mercury Technology Solution, leverages blockchain technology to ensure security and transparency in the transaction process.
