After months of intense preparation and a few long nights of installation builds, we finally kicked off our Future Forward event series at Industria Superstudio in New York City this past weekend. Presented—and inspired—by the all-new Prius, Future Forward opened to crowds able to experience  Drift, a heat-responsive chandelier,  Reach, an interactive living wall, and  Hoshi, an infinite space installation up close and brought to life. The event also unveiled the Prius Piano that let enthusiastic visitors to play a few tunes and watch the car light up with every strike of a key. Open to the public, Future Forward gave viewers young and old an experience of the future that they could see, hold, and feel.
