By the time this story was published, the Boeing 777 F-GZNJ, operated by Air France, had passed the halfway point of its journey from Seoul, South Korea, to Beijing, China. But enough about what's happening in the real world - we're here to discuss a piece of digital art, which sees this particular Triple Seven being used for recreational purposes, all with a Porsche twist.
As many high-profile Instagram accounts out there show, you can attempt to reset the social media counter by showcasing the machines you use to get from one point of the world to another or your mansion. But you'll never be Porsche-in-a-swimming-pool-above-an-airborne-plane cool! And that's without mentioning the minimalist home the said pool is attached to. So, why not enjoy such delights in a form that steers clear of financial limitations and boundaries altogether?
Looking past the potential liberation message sent by this short clip, the photorealistic nature of the rendering is definitely a sight for sore eyes.
Now, those of you who consume digital art on a regular basis might be familiar with the idea of 911s being treated as amphibious vehicles, since we're looking at the work of Chris Labrooy.
And the Zuffenhausen automaker isn't the only big name that has joined forces with the Scottish artist. For one, you can currently find his pixels on the Lamborghini website, in a splash of color that celebrates the Diablo's 30th anniversary. It's also worth noting that, outside the automotive realm, Labrooy has collaborated with names such as Apple or Nike, along with smaller businesses commissioning equally immersive projects.
Portraying Porsches as contraptions that can travel equally far on all three axes isn't limited to the 964 Neunelfer showcased in the first Instagram post below, or to airplanes, for that matter.
In fact, if you check out the image in the second post, you'll find a 928, the model that was supposed to replace the 911 in the late 1970s, using its custom air propulsion system to hover around in the lounge at the John F. Kennedy International Airport's TWA Terminal.
The piece is just as much of an innovative showcase of Porsche's iconic Guards Red shade as it is a tribute to the stunning work of American-Finnish architect Eero Saarinen. You know, the man who designed the TWA Flight Center airport terminal and hotel complex back in the late 1950s.
Update: The artist has returned to the matter, allowing us to zoom in on that Porsche relaxing inside the pool, while also playing with the lights, as you'll notice in the third Insta post below.
