Gravity-Defying Land Art by Cornelia Konrads

German artist Cornelia Konrads creates mind-bending site-specific installations in public spaces, sculpture parks and private gardens around the world. Her work is frequently punctuated by the illusion of weightlessness, where stacked objects like logs, fences, and doorways appear to be suspended in mid-air, reinforcing their temporary nature as if the installation is beginning to dissolve before your very eyes. One of her more recent sculptures, Schleudersitz is an enormous slingshot made from a common park bench, and you can get a great idea of what it might be like to sit inside it with this interactive 360 degree view.

What you see here only begins to sratch the surface of Konrad’s work. You can see much more on her website. All imagery courtesy the artist.

 

URB-E - Amazing Folded Electric Bike..!!

URB-E has a 20 mile range on a single charge, a top speed of 15mph, and can fold small enough to fit next to you on a train or bus.

Urb-E is an electric scooter designed for maximum range and portability. The scooter charges in three hours and travels up to 20 miles per charge, at a speed of 15 miles per hour. It can be controlled via smartphone, using the Urb-E App to monitor battery charge, range, speed, LED lighting, music, and navigation. The smartphone dock also charges one’s phone, so using the scooter won’t drain power. Riding the scooter won’t limit mobility, either. The recyclable, aircraft-grade aluminum frame folds up, so that it can be taken almost anywhere one needs to go. Collapsing within a minute, the razor scooter can be brought on a bus or train with no hassle to the owner and without crowding other travelers. As the scooter weighs just 27 lbs., it can also be carried indoors, safely on one’s person at all times. The frame comes in MRDR Black, Carbon Grey, Cloud White, Polished Gold, or Go Green, and is accented by dots of black, blue, white, pink, yellow, or orange. Additionally, each scooter comes with a set of clear sleeves, which can be customized and inserted in place of the standard accents. Soon to be available in three-wheeled Commuter and two-wheeled GP models, the Urb-E is currently campaigning for support on indiegogo.
