The Faena District took new technologies even further by coordinating Franchise Freedom, which featured 300 synchronized drones “dancing” to classical music. The impressive feat was organized by Amsterdam-based Studio Drift in partnership with BMW.
The truck was parked in Miami Design District’s Jungle Plaza on December 4. Guests enjoyed Brazilian-inspired drinks like caipirinha cocktails, passed hors d’oeurvres and desserts from Creative Edge Parties, and music from DJ Claudio.
On December 5, Ketel One and III Points teamed up for the Art Basel Concert Series at Mana Wynwood. Along with a performance by Bjork, concertgoers had the chance to customize their cocktails with fresh produce or select specialty cocktails as well as Ketel sodas garnished with fresh fruits, herbs, and citrus.
During Miami Art Week, the Faena District hosted a series of large public installations in Miami Beach. Artist Peter Tunney collected giant pieces of the abandoned Atlantic City casino, the Taj Mahal, and converted them into an installation. Giant chandeliers, a two-ton ornate concrete elephant, and towering letters emerged from the sand.
