Hack the Past

The past isn’t discarded in the electric future—it’s rebuilt, rebooted, and reborn.

Hi, Posthumans!

In a world obsessed with what’s next, a quiet shift stirs beneath the roar of innovation. Progress no longer means erasure. It means recursion.

As climate deadlines close in and technologies evolve at warp speed, we find ourselves looking backward—not with regret, but with reverence. This isn’t nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake. It’s something more deliberate: a reprogramming of memory through electric circuits. A generation of engineers, artists, and preservationists is rebuilding the icons of yesterday with the tools of tomorrow.

Signal 1: Everrati Reimagines the Porsche 911 as a Luxury EV
U.K.-based Everrati transforms vintage automotive legends—like the Porsche 911 and Ford GT40—into zero-emission luxury machines. These aren’t kitschy restorations. Each donor car is stripped to its chassis and re-engineered over the course of a year, with EV drivetrains and modern performance tech layered under familiar curves. The result: a $500,000 fusion of heritage and clean energy.
🔭 Posthuman Spark: Electrification becomes not just functional but emotional—a continuity of legacy through clean energy.
Signal 2: Lunaz Brings Electric Elegance to Rolls-Royce and Jaguar
Founded by ex-Formula 1 engineer David Lorenz, and backed by none other than David Beckham, Lunaz specializes in electrifying the Rolls-Royce Phantom, Bentley Continental, and Jaguar XK120. Their mission isn’t to disrupt luxury—it’s to sustain it. These conversions preserve classic craftsmanship while aligning with modern climate ethics, quietly redefining what "timeless" means.
🔭 Posthuman Spark: Opulence evolves—not through new forms, but by rewriting history in electric ink.
Signal 3: Mercedes-Benz Icons Reborn by S-Klub LA
In Los Angeles, S-Klub LA handcrafts electric reinterpretations of the Mercedes-Benz 300SL—one of the most celebrated silhouettes in automotive history. These are not clones, nor are they merely showpieces. They're restomod sculptures: carbon-fiber rebirths that maintain the soul of the original, now whispering instead of roaring.
🔭 Posthuman Spark: Identity isn't lost in the upgrade—it’s distilled and re-expressed in high voltage.
Signal 4: Electrogenic Turns British Farm Vehicles into Silent Workhorses
In Oxfordshire, Electrogenic isn't electrifying for style points. They're converting vintage Land Rovers and agricultural tractors into durable EVs for farmers and utility operators. No chrome polish. No collector’s circle. Just timeless tools, upgraded to serve sustainably. It’s the countryside version of a retrofit revolution.
🔭 Posthuman Spark: Even the most rugged machines of the past can be gentled into the green future.
Signal 5: Zelectric Powers the Vintage VW Beetle with Tesla Tech
Zelectric, based in California, quietly inserts Tesla batteries into vintage VW Beetles and Microbuses. The exterior remains delightfully untouched—complete with rounded lights and retro pastel paint. But under the hood, it’s all torque and silence. A time machine in reverse, now powered forward.
🔭 Posthuman Spark: The future doesn’t always shout—it hums quietly in familiar forms.

🛸 FUTUREWARE

The Ignition Archive

BMW’s i Vision Dee concept car isn’t just a screen on wheels—it’s a dynamic memory surface. With its full-body e-ink panels and “Mixed Reality Slider,” it can shift appearances between eras: today’s white coupe, tomorrow’s ‘80s racing livery. For some users, it’s not about showing off—it’s about driving through their own timeline.

🔭 Posthuman Spark: When the body of the car becomes a programmable memory, driving becomes a personal playback.


🔁 NEW HABITS

We Begin to Let Old Things Speak

People no longer just collect the past—they reanimate it. Across Instagram, Reddit, and YouTube, a quiet wave grows: AI-restored vinyl, digitally reconstructed art, and adaptive reuse buildings turned into sensor-rich digital twins. Old songs are stem-separated. Vintage sculptures are injected with air to “dance” again. Memory doesn’t sit still anymore—it loops, breathes, performs.

🔁 The shift is subtle: From preserving the past to performing it.

🌱 A new habit emerges: We engage with memory not as archive, but as interface—something to touch, remix, and reinhabit.
