LOT-EK's Ada and Giuseppe were interviewed by Nicole Dyer of ABC radio in the Gold Coast (Australia) about designing Hi-Lights. Drivelines Studios is LOT-EK's first building in South Africa. HI-LIGHTS is centered on the radically adaptive reuse of a seemingly familiar infrastructure. Rethinking the highway light poles as dots that form letters and words, and altering their equally-spaced rhythm into a sudden, dense concentration, HI-LIGHTS puts the Gold Coast’s name in lights through two unique works at the city’s busiest entry points.

LOT-EK INVITES YOU TO A ONE-NIGHT EVENT WITH UP↑CYCLE FILM AND O+O
UP↑CYCLE, a long-form documentary by Tom Piper, tells the story of both the shipping container, a symbol of our hyper-consumptive globalized society, and LOT-EK, whose work in upcycling the container as a building material shows a redemptive way forward, creating beauty and utility from the banal and discarded. Come enjoy a first look at the tantalizing footage captured so far. Ada and Giuseppe will sign copies of O+O to all supporters of the film. 100% of proceeds from the evening sales of the monograph will be donated by LOT-EK to help complete the production of UP↑CYCLE. Donations are 100% tax-deductible through Aubin Pictures, a 501(c)3 organization. Click on logo to learn more about the film.

LOT-EK WINS GOLD COAST GATEWAYS WITH HI-LIGHTS
LOT-EK has won the international competition for the Gateways Public Art Commission in Gold Coast, Australia with HI-LIGHTS. LOT-EK was invited to participate in the competition this past fall and was awarded the project on June 13th in collaboration with Sydney-based OF (Office Feuerman). LOT-EK and OF will deliver the project in collaboration with UAP (Urban Art Projects). HI-LIGHTS is centered on the radically adaptive reuse of a seemingly familiar infrastructure. Rethinking the highway light poles as dots that form letters and words, and altering their equally-spaced rhythm into a sudden, dense concentration, HI-LIGHTS puts the Gold Coast’s name in lights through two unique works at the city’s busiest entry points.
