Cao Fei BMW M6 GT3 Art Car #19 (2017), front three-quarter view

Cao Fei's augmented-reality M6 GT3 - a matte-black car that comes alive on a screen.

Chinese multimedia artist Cao Fei made the 18th Art Car largely invisible to the naked eye: the M6 GT3 racer wears a matte-black finish, while the artwork - swirling light and digital spirits - appears only through an augmented-reality app. It reflects her interest in virtual worlds and China's rapid change. The car competed in GT3 endurance racing.
