“Destination Y3000” will showcase Coca‑Cola Y3000 Zero Sugar, the first futuristic Coca‑Cola flavor co-created with human and artificial intelligence (AI) by transforming the exterior of the Sphere with a visually striking perspective on what the year 3000 could look like with the help of AI-powered technology.

Coca‑Cola Creations is wrapping up its second year of limited-edition drops with a weeklong experiential takeover in Las Vegas.

Every day through Nov. 13, “Destination Y3000” will project visuals reflecting the latest Coca‑Cola Creations drop onto the Sphere’s Exosphere, transporting passers-by to a futuristic cityscape inspired by the Y3000 AI Cam, an AI-powered experience that invites fans to take photos of their surroundings and transform them into futuristic visuals. The vibrant visual tapestry, which also features images from a future-inspired capsule fashion collection designed in partnership with AMBUSH®, symbolizes the optimism enhanced by the power of technology.

The Sphere is a state-of-the-art venue that redefines live entertainment with cutting-edge technologies that ignite the senses and enable audiences to share experiences at a never-before-seen scale. Since debuting in the Las Vegas skyline in late-September, the exterior of the world’s largest spherical structure has showcased a variety of attention-grabbing art and visuals.

“Coca‑Cola Creations uses the power of technology and innovation to connect with fans in digital-first ways, while presenting memorable and powerful physical experiences that create moments of ‘Real Magic’,” said Oana Vlad, Senior Director, Global Strategy, The Coca‑Cola Company. “That’s what ‘Destination Y3000’ is all about — inviting fans to imagine the future through the lens of AI but also bringing the future into the physical realm. And there’s no more visually striking real estate than the Sphere. So when we thought about where to bring to life our optimistic vision of a futuristic city through an IRL experience, it was a no-brainer. We’re excited to share this awesome visual content with visitors in Las Vegas and fans around the world following along on our journey.”
