For this installation, we developed an elaborate city environment, in which four different themes follow narratives based on electromobility and Big Data. Live performances blend with footage depicting everyday encounters between people and products – the so-called 'casual moments' produced by Raid Films. 

During the 30-minute show, the viewer travels from a location in the countryside, to a large square in the middle of the ‘Green City’ …

World premiere
Vision EQS

After completing this journey, the lights in the Festhalle are blacked out.
Time for the highlight show on the main stage: the world premiere of the Vision EQS show car – a first milestone in Mercedes’ exploration of electric mobility. Our aim was to create highly aesthetic analogies between the vehicle’s interior design and its initial sources of inspiration – maritime and aquatic worlds.

Music production

The soundtracks and sound FX were written and produced by us as well.

For the ‘City Moments’ on the main stage, we chose a rather atmospheric approach.
Starting with a peaceful and dreamy ambiance for the ‘Green City’, the music evolves into a noir-drenched soundtrack for the ‘Night City’ and rumbles through sub-bass into the‘Cloud City’ ornamented with otherworldly pads and abstract ‘glassy‘ sounds.

For the world premiere of the 'VISION EQS' we composed a rhythmic song with a mysterious undertone – perfectly suited to the underwater content – which closes in an epic finale.

'Micro Macro’ created a playful atmosphere through the use of chopped up vocal recordings combined with laidback percussion elements.

For the ‘Big Moment’ in the ‘Responsible Hub’ we wrote a piece with an abstract and digital aesthetic, which is characterized by its unpredictable musical structure.
