THE NFT
SPACE TIME MEMORY
This is Lamborghini`s historical first NFT project. In collaboration with the artist Fabian Oefner, Lamborghini developed five art pieces, that will go on auction on Feb 1st 2022 at 4 pm CET (Rome).
The art pieces are made of a physical element and a NFT component: The Space Key, the physical element is a piece of carbon fiber sent to Outer Space by Lamborghini. It is engraved with a unique QR code that links to the NFT, a photograph of a Lamborghini lifting off towards the stars. A total of five Space Keys were made, each one linking to one of the five photographs created.
The digital component is an NFT of a photograph, that depicts a Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae, lifting off toward the stars. Oefner created a total of five separate images that depict individual moments within seconds from each other as the car rises above the earth. Its parts, the engine, the transmission, the suspension and hundreds of nuts and bolts are shooting away from the chassis like the exhaust flame of a rocket.
What may look like a computer-generated image is in fact entirely created from elements of the real world: The artist captured more than 1500 individual parts of an actual car. The photograph of the earth`s curvature was made by sending a weather balloon equipped with a camera to the edge of the stratosphere. The artist then carefully assembled all of these images into an artificial moment in time. Each piece has more than 600 Million pixels. As one starts to zoom in, the hidden details of the hyperrealistic photograph are revealed.
The resolution is so enormous, that you can read tiny markings on the firing order of the V12 engine or marvel at the different milling patterns on the transmission cog wheels. The longer you look at the composition, the more secrets you discover…

The image was created by capturing more than 1500 individual parts of the car at the factory in Sant`Agata Bolognese (ITA) . The element of the earth`s curvature was made by sending a weather balloon equipped with a camera to the edge of the stratosphere. Fabian Oefner then carefully assembled all of these images into a 600 Million pixel photograph, that shows a hyperrealistic moment in time, that never existed.
