Eco Friendly Car Designed by MDI

Eco-Friendly-Car-Designed-by-MDIWhat would you say if I told you that your next car could run on air instead of gasoline, and that it would produce zero pollution? The MDI AIRpod might just bring that promise to reality when it hits the streets later this year.
The subcompact AIRpod runs on compressed air instead of traditional automotive fuels. A set of carbon-fiber tanks sit underneath the passenger compartment, loaded up with 2900psi of compressed air. The tanks power a tiny engine capable of cranking out a whopping 5.4 horsepower and 11-foot-pounds of torque.

F1 Car Made of Recycled Puma Shoe Boxes

Puma-Shoe-Boxes-Car-Formula-OneThis is why I love artists! You’re sitting around wondering: “What can we create to really wow our clients and their partners(in this case, Puma and Formula One) and let them know they’ve partnered up with the right people? The average person would probably say: “Hey, how about we make some cool-ass t-shirts with a funky design”? This, of course...

We, the artisans also have talents to effect a change and make positive impact in the society. “That is why I decided that I too must do something that will make people to recognize me and know me across the whole world and by extension prove to the world that African and indeed the entire Black Race have very talented people.”

Wearable Interactive Sculptures

Wearable-Interactive-SculpturesArtist Jennifer Crupi makes wearable interactive sculptures that encourage the wearer to hold a specific pose or gesture. Some sculptures are jewelry-like, such as the sterling silver “Ornamental Hands” which creates a dancer’s hand gesture. Crupi has also made gestural furniture—the “Empathy Table” fits on the laps of two people and has indentations that invite the participants to regard one another thoughtfully. Crupi’s sculptures are intended to highlight the role of body language in communication.

Photo Series of Chinese Toy Factory Workers

Photo Series of Chinese Toy Factory WorkersChina is the biggest toy exporter in the world - nearly 75% of all the world's toys are made in the country – but the retail price of one high-quality toy in the western market is often more than six months' salary for a Chinese toy factory worker. In order to depict the drudgery of mass toy production, photographer Michael Wolf made a large-scale installation where he attached 20,000 used plastic toys all made in China surrounding large sized photos of the workers who make them. Wolf called the project “The Real Toy Story”. The work portrays the human presence behind mass-produced goods and provides viewers with a visceral, immersive experience that evokes the sensation of density endemic to urban areas of the region.

Full Size Formula 1 Racing Car Simulator by FMCG

Full Size Formula 1 Racing Car Simulator by FMCGAs much as I like the Formula 1 racing simulator, it’s not everyone because it’ll cost you more than a brand new Porsche 911 Carrera or many other high end cars.  The simulator is priced at £90,000 or about $144,000 at today’s exchange rate but that does include tax, delivery, set up, and a training session.

With the price out of the way and if you’re still reading, the simulator does come with some cool stuff like real Pirreli F1 slick tires and Brembo or AP Racing calipers.  The body is made out of carbon fiber and composites and comes with realistic aero packages including front and rear wings, side-pod mounted winglets, and a rear diffuser.  The cockpit comes with a quick release steering wheel designed to look like a genuine F1 wheel with paddle shifters.

The Terrifyingly Realistic Snake Cake

The-Terrifyingly-Realistic-Snake-CakeThis is not a real snake. It’s a snake cake. North Star Cakes made this thing to resemble a Burmese python. While I appreciate the effort, I gotta ask — Why’d it have to be snakes? I live for cake, just like every other fat kid who’s got a lot of love to give but nowhere to put it, but I’m not thrilled about this to say the least. Neither is Indiana. Sure, he’s in the middle of dealing with bigger, better, and more adventurous things, but I’m speaking for the both of us when I say “NOT cool.” Sure, it’s not gonna stop me from eating the cake outta this bad boy, but I’m not gonna be happy about it. Oh no, I’m gonna get a tummy ache and cry in my bed while watching Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. What?! It makes me feel less-bad about myself!

Bicycle Club Pavilion by NL Architects

Bicycle Club Pavilion by NL ArchitectsHousing Corporation Vanke Asked NL Architects to make a proposal for a Bike Club as part of a big resort in Souther China. TheClub should accomodate bike rental and a cafe. A protruding roof could be very welcome in the very tropical climate of the area. The elegant curvature of the steeply banked oval bike track creates an optimistic gesture: eaves curled upward; a surprisingly functional pagoda.
