Souvenirs From The Internet — See Jayne:

Souvenirs From The Internet imagines a world where our networked 3D printers are able to produce physical manifestations of our digital experiences. If we can CNC print on eggs why not plates? Commemorative plates, like Greek pottery, act as archaeological records of modern life.

Physical mementos of intangible experiences.

Ex

[A] completely new driving concept: The driver lies headlong on his three-wheeled vehicle and accelerates the “EX” with sprawled out arms up to 30 km/h. Eccentrically is also how the steering works: A specially developed joint tilts the back wheel and leans the driver´s weight dynamically into the curve.

The vehicle was built and designed in cooperation with Sebastian Auray, Ruben Faber and Ludolf von Oldershausen.

Make sure you click through and look at the other pictures. They make two things clear:

1. The steering and drive design of this thing are extraordinary and brilliant.

2. This is a death trap. A brilliant, wonderful, totally-worth-it death trap. And I want one.
