Lexus is promoting it's new company attitude through a campaign called Amazing in Motion, and it's latest installation is called "STROBE." The video doesn't have much to do with Lexus really, but as far as being a form of art, it is really cool.

Lexus put up LED "Lightmen" across the tallest buildings in Kuala Lumpur. The men light up one at a time in a kind of stop motion, flip-book type style.

It was created by CHI & Partners London and directed by Adam Berg from Stink Productions. The project took 40 engineers to build and control the large-scale rigging from where the Lightmen were suspended. The lightment took 6 weeks to build, each containing 1,680 LEDs and a wireless control module.

i thought that was cool, at least they did something out of the ordinary so you're not falling asleep through the whole thing.

That's true. If I saw this on tv it would be one of those commercials where I watch the whole thing, and then at the end I would be like "that was cool, but it doesn't have much to do with the car." I guess part of the point is just making something memorable, and if its associated with Lexus then they've made a brand impression.

you got it, right on point, it's memorable and not just another car commercial but a car commercial with something you don't normally see from one.

I saw this yesterday, It went viral on the interwebs. I had no idea they used real people just to hang there. Impressive!
