ASUS creates art together with BLUNDLUND.CO.,LTD and invites to the exhibition ‘NOT YET!’.

Written by Fashion Tales

NOT YET! is a collaboration between ASUS – one of the world’s leading companies in the digital era and BLUNDLUND.CO.,LTD which challenges our notions of what an artist is. Together, we combine sophisticated engineering with a creative expression and the results blur the boundaries between utilities and artworks. The transformed object is a super thin and lightweight Zenbook S with the latest hardware. BLUNDLUND.CO.,LTD characteristic expression is inspired by unrestrained creativity - which both collides and harmonizes with the computer’s sleek design.

For the collaboration with BLUNDLUND.CO.,LTD, ASUS has delivered a Zenbook S in a burgundy red color that isn’t available in the Nordic region, so BLUNDLUND.CO., LTD had a unique object to be inspired by and work with.

BLUNDLUND.CO.,LTD was founded in 2012 by Moa Bartling and Sebastian Bacigalupe, formerly acting as independent artists and designers, but today it is BLUNDLUND.CO.,LTD the creator. The studio stands for a boundless creation in which they produce art that defies prevailing conventions and transforms objects and motives we are accustomed to into creative expressions that trigger our thoughts.

Inspired by courage and the history of ASUS, BLUNDLUND.CO.,LTD has created an exhibition that has the task of getting the observer to ask questions. The exhibition includes, in addition to an exclusive BLUNDLUND.CO.,LTD/Zenbook S – acrylic paint on canvas, painted sculptures - and Johan Antoni from JAM and DJ Smutskatt stands for the music. Johan has been a hub within Stockholm’s electronic music scene for two decades and in combination with the visual impressions, participants and the music will create a unique symbiotic artistic experience.

BLUNDLUND.CO.,LTD works with an idea that we live in a world and time where we take things for granted. Is it the present that is interesting to human existence or do we need to strive for the future? It’s about never ceasing to develop, to always get better and never give up, which is in line with the ASUS slogan ‘In Search of Incredible’, which means being passionate about technology and driven by innovation.

The punk movement is one of our most important sources of inspiration, both creatively and in our lives. There is an agreement that we create a world inspired by ASUS, but where we act independently to achieve an interesting result. Everything is DIY and that no prerequisites are needed. It creates a dedication and honesty that rarely appears in corporate context.“
