MERCEDES-BENZ X KID CUDI EVENT

By Katya Hudson

On Friday 21 October 2022, Mercedes-Benz unveiled its bespoke art collaboration created in partnership with world-class creative Kid Cudi in Paris. The bespoke event was a celebration of the musician’s unique multi-faceted artistry through the lens of human-centric innovation. Alongside the Mercedes- Benz and Kid Cudi collaboration, the event staged the exclusive reveal of the hotly anticipated collaboration between Kid Cudi and renowned artist KAWS. 

Immersed guests went on an interstellar journey through the mind of Kid Cudi, transported into the Musée via a lunar moon path fit with LED screens and mirrors. 

The iconic Musée was transformed throughout the evening by light and digital projections showcasing original Kid Cudi artwork, through video-mapping and the Mercedes-Benz Magical Garage Campaign: a 360-degree digital installation.

Inside, guests were serenaded by a 20-person orchestra playing renditions of iconic Kid Cudi hits, followed by an intimate performance from the American multi-hyphenate musician and creative. 

Few artists have created more of a global impact on fine art with pop sensibility than Kid Cudi and New York-based artist KAWS. During the evening, the anticipated artwork made in partnership with KAWS enveloped the audience via a mirrored screen accompanied by a violinist. The exclusive design inspired by Cudi’s Man On The Moon and KAWS’ iconic COMPANION character champions the collaborators as both the hero and explorer they represent.
