Ride the Synthwave was an unforgettable night from the School of Design and Creative
Technologies sponsored by Nelda Studios.
In the center of the event, a life-size multimedia Lamborghini Countach with custom features and
interactive screens designed to highlight the full range of creative programming offered by the
Department of Arts and Entertainment Technologies (AET). From projection mapping to creative
coding, sound design, and 3D visualization, the "Lambo" is a new platform for ongoing
exploration and immersive content development.
The coroplast model car was a collaborative effort designed in partnership with the Texas
Performing Arts Fabrication Studios and dadaLab.
