Nike Stadium Milano plays host to an exhibition that celebrates the essence of the body in motion with The Art + Science of Super Natural Motion.
With the core principles of Fit and Flex as inspiration, Nike and cutting-edge digital artists Universal Everything (Fit), Daniel Widrig (Flex) and Quayola+Sinigaglia (Flex), have come together to create an interpretation of the body in motion, weaving the threads of nature, technology, design, art and sport to reflect the wonder of Nike Free and Nike Flyknit Innovations.
Universal Everything’s The Art and Science of Fit explores movement with a 3D interactive experience that allows the viewer to manipulate intricate strands of color with the sweep of an arm. The flowing threads of the digitized cube structure behave with a sense of freedom when a human body interacts with the large screens on the surface of its four sides. As if seeking out human presence, intricate multicolored woven patterns dance across the screens intelligently conforming and fitting the silhouette of the visitor. Creating a spectacle that feels like art powered by human potential, U.K.-based Universal Everything offers visual atmospheres that inspire movement through generative design.
The Art and Science of Flex, by Daniel Widrig captures the essence of motion and crosses the realm of the digital world to land in the reality of a material sculpture. Animation software allows the artist to create multiple snapshots of an abstract geometric figure moving in a 3D space. While the figure accelerates, it gradually reconfigures and expands. After a phase of deceleration, it ultimately halts. From design to the physical form, the snapshot materializes into a four-meter-long intricate sculpture that reinterprets movement and flexibility in unexpected ways.
To complement Daniel Widrig’s work, long-time collaborators Davide Quayola and Natan Sinigaglia present Flexure, an abstract, time-based digital sculpture that is an ever-evolving transformation of a rectangular monolith. Focusing on the physical properties of elasticity and flexibility, Flexure is a practice of audio-visual performance, drawing, photography and software programming that stimulates through both sight and sound. Italian visual artist Quayola explores the boundary between the real and artificial. Sinigaglia, a sound and visual artist based in Varese, explores the infinite interconnections between sound and image. Creating canvases where both languages lose their boundaries and share forms and meanings, Quayola and Sinigaglia present a dynamic display of movement in the visual form.
The Art and Science of Super Natural Motion is an evolving exhibition that will travel to Tokyo, New York, and London until October 2013.

Nike and recording artist Ellie Goulding are releasing an exclusive remix album from Goulding’s second album, “Halcyon,” to inspire the thousands of women joining Ellie to run 13.1 miles on April 28. Goulding will take to the streets of the nation’s capital in the inaugural Nike Women Half Marathon in Washington, D.C. and is excited to share something that blends her passion for music and running. Fellow runners will be able to download the album beginning April 15 to boost motivation during their final preparations for the run. A limited number of downloads and streaming option are available.
“As I head from a busy tour schedule to promote my album into the final two weeks of my training to run the Nike Women Half Marathon in Washington, D.C. on April 28, it’s clear how important both music and running are in my life,” said Goulding. “So it’s a pleasure to be able to share this exclusive new “Halcyon” album of remixes with my fans and fellow running friends with the hope that the music inspires you, and motivates you to keep going strong as you put the finishing touches on your race day training.”
Goulding also partnered with Nike to create a unique shoe design that melds Ellie’s love of running with her life as a recording artist. Featuring a few of her favorite colors, the black and white Nike FlyKnit upper is accentuated with subtle pops of fuchsia in the flecks of the Lunarlon outsole with a lighter shade of pink highlighted on the heel tab, which also features the name of Goulding’s second platinum-selling album “Halcyon.” More pink is used on the tips of the laces and on the sock liner bearing Goulding’s “EG” logo.
“It was incredible to have the chance to collaborate with the Nike Design team on this special edition of the Nike FlyKnit Lunar1+ that I’ll get to train in and share with a few of my friends,” said Goulding. “I especially love the homage paid to my second album,’ Halycon.’ Besides training for the Nike Women Half Marathon, ‘Halcyon’ is the other journey I’ve been on this year, and the shoe combines the two journeys beautifully.”
Women training to run 13.1 miles on April 28 — either as part of the 15,000 women in Washington, D.C. or those who will run from wherever they are that day via Nike+ — can join others in the social conversation with the hashtag #letsturnitup.
