Six artists create photographs, poems and a film offering a fresh look at the beauty around a single place

DEARBORN, MI - September 6, 2015: The group interpreted the field of vision from the available camera system: forward, above, left, right and behind. This 360-degree artistic view of different locales mirrors what the all-new Lincoln MKX offers.

“The cameras offer another set of eyes and perspective to help the driver.”

In addition to the 360-degree bird’s-eye view, the camera system offers a 180-degree split view, which can be helpful in cross-traffic situations. The Lincoln Star badge between the split-wing grille moves out and tilts up to reveal the available front camera. The combination of front-camera deployment and how the lens is cleaned is an industry first.

“The design, engineering and execution of the available 360-degree camera system provides seamless assistance for the customer,” said Jennifer Shaw, driver assistance electronics supervisor. “The cameras offer another set of eyes and perspective to help the driver.”
