Created in conjunction Vevo, the Lexus LIT IS, as it’s known, was created for UK singer Dua Lipa and her latest music video “Be The One”.

According to Lexus, the LIT IS features a density of 60 pixels per metre, 1610 metres of wire, 20 micro-controllers, and 5750 wires totalling 1610m in length. The lighting array is spread across 805 metres worth of LED strips.

In Music Viz, the car’s lights react dynamically and in-sync to music. Set to gesture mode, the vehicle’s LEDs animate in response to hand movements by the driver.

 

Meanwhile loop mode is said to highlight the IS’ curves and styling features.

  • It's okay, you're just feeling ambivalent

    I almost always struggle to describe my state of mind when asked to consider how I'm feeling. How do you express emotions that exist together but work in opposition to each other? When invited to join a gathering with friends, I delight over the prospect of catching up but also yearn to be lounging at home. I'm inspired by an accomplished co-worker yet envy her. I feel happy about a new beginning but nervous and, at the same time, sad over the closing of a chapter.  It's complicated. A
