On the occasion of the 2024 New Year's Eve, a giant installation art arctic fox with a height of more than 20 meters landed in Shanghai, the fashion capital, and landed in the Vientiane World of Suhe Bay, which is known as the "Oriental Seine River".
ARCFOX Motors and Florentine Hoffmann break the boundary
On December 27th, BAIC Polar Fox and Florence Hoffmann officially announced that the shape of Polar Fox, a super artwork [let'S jump now! Arctic Fox] was officially completed and opened. The cross-border cooperation between BAIC ARCFOX and Florence Hoffmann stems from the common love of life, and is also a perfect complement of automobiles and health and safety, which will help more people to jump and cheer for a happy life together, let's jump!
Dutch artist Florence Hoffmann, the "father of the Yellow Duck", is widely known for his artistic projects that create monumental objects in public spaces. As Florentine Hoffmann said, "My original intention is to make people feel the harmony between nature and life." "The design of the big fox is inspired by the agility of the arctic fox when it frolicks in the ice field, it is the spirit that guards the polar regions, symbolizing agility, wisdom and perfection.
BAIC Polar Fox has always taken extreme safety as its own responsibility, and the construction of Big Fox is also a practice of this commitment. As Hoffman's largest and most difficult artwork to make in China, let'S jump now! "Arctic Fox" is 20m high and 29m long, from dynamic jumping to prostrate on the ground, the design team continued to carve, and finally locked the most beautiful jumping posture of the Arctic Fox, but it is precisely because of the choice of jumping posture that the overall production difficulty is on a higher level. The construction process before and after the cycle of up to 90 days, it is worth mentioning that the hoisting process coincided with the early December Shanghai multiple gale warnings, just in a routine inspection heard a slight sound inside, the project leader of BAIC Polar Fox did not hesitate to make a decision: immediately suspend the hoisting, the entire sculpture again for a comprehensive system inspection, and double the reinforcement. This decision obviously adds more expenses and time costs, but in the view of the team of BAIC Jihu, "safety is regardless of cost".
Although the big fox is only a flash mob art installation that has been on display for 1-2 months, BAIC Extreme Fox insists on building it in accordance with the requirements of the national permanent housing and bridge construction standards, which not only has a stable infrastructure, but also can withstand a typhoon once in ten years. In order to support this huge work of art, ARCFOX strives for excellence, and its engineering team resolutely adopts manual excavation in the face of complex pipeline layout when laying the foundation, and constantly corrects the data during the actual construction process, and the original plan is 5*4*1The size of the foundation of 5m has been expanded to 8*85*1.8m, which guarantees the absolute stability of the sculpture. And such a meticulous attitude made the designer team sigh: BAIC Polar Fox is building a flash device with the concept of making a car!
380,000 pieces of Tavik eco-friendly paper, each one is full of ingenuity and humanistic color
In order to maximize the restoration of the Arctic Fox's agile and elegant posture, Beiqi Polar Fox chose Tavik environmentally friendly paper, which is not only waterproof and cleanable, but also has a fireproof flame retardant on the surface. Throughout the construction process, the designers carried out multiple tests of size, wind movement and fixed angles to ensure that the Arctic fox fur was as agile as the wind carried out. During the construction process, the number was increased five times, with a total of 380,000 sheets of Tävirk paper fur, which were carefully pasted by craftsmen by hand, making the whole work more perfect and unique, and full of humanistic colors. This not only expresses the consistent style of BAIC POLAR Fox's pursuit of the ultimate, but also expresses the harmonious coexistence of people, vehicles and nature.
