i-Series

A short time ago, Flux Welles became strangely disposed to a form of behavior peculiar to his kind – acts of prolonged meditation. From dusk till dawn he would chin-scratch in wonder, silently musing over the thousand dollar question, which was the origin of his space, if only imaginary. In time, his mind’s eye was shuffling and stumbling the night away. This message was recently found behind a veil of flux.

Gone is the space of airways, imaginary, blurred by evanescent streams of neon. To that city in the clouds, abstracted away from naïve experience of logical fallacy, I say so long. What remains is but the semblance of machine and light.

For my long felt misconception I hasten to blame the actual bird, the origin of the concept of a machine which defies gravity. And yet, in the absence of the actual bird, the Flux moves me to find whatever might tread wind at the space. Could believing-true the possibility that cars can fly itself be the origin? Alas, to stop the natural flow of thought, to stop the desire to make actual, with flight and feather, that imaginary space, the understanding must prove resilient.

Fluxiom: If a car derives from a representation of the imagination, then it shall abstract away from the migrating bird, whose destination cannot be imagined unless first believed-true.

If you find the message hyperbolic, give it another go. It does seem to capture quite nicely the idea behind the new BMW i-Series. Among other things, with the unveiling of the new i sub-brand, BMW will introduce revolutionary next generation infotainment and telematics functionality, intermodal route planning complete with a parking assistant and a traffic jam assistant, a trio of large, customizable displays, and a liquid-cooled electric motor.

From what Flux Welles has gathered, the BMW i3 and i8 are two machines which believe-true more than ever the possibilities – hence the abstraction from a migrating bird. But Flux Welles wants to know what you think. Do you think BMW’s new i-Series derives from a representation of, say, Kevin Flynn’s imagination? Would any such derivation explain the city in the clouds?

Just keep running, like the little girl from Forrest Gump said. Maybe I can hide up there in the chicken coop. But the air – it’s so thick; and if I just had a moment’s breathe. And as you start to slow by the bridge, you hear the sound of the giant footsteps return. Panicked, you realize that you have no option but to jump. You take the plunge; but the giant follows. It’s a highway duel, and now, your only option is a dangerous one. You take the high road; and from that point on it was all adrenaline. And space was removed from time until the chase became a vacuum of thought and sound. Will the giant make his move, running away in laughter?
