HMK 561 Electric Bicycle Concept
Mar 12th
Most electric bikes are fairly sordid affairs, little more than an ordinary bicycle with a motorized hub, a strap-on battery pack and regenerative braking capabilities (if you’re lucky). Not this HMK 561 electric bicycle concept, which took home an iF Design Award for some seriously forward thinking. It’s not just the stylish forward rake of this juiced cruiser that’s innovative, it’s the frame — composed completely of a conductive carbon fiber weave that allows the bike’s body to not just pass electricity to the motors, but actually store it like a giant capacitor. Factor in integrated lights and a pinch of that aforesaid regenerative braking at each axle, and you’ve just about got the bicycle of our dreams. Oh, and did we mention a prototype has already been built? Yeah.
Wheely Talkie: Roll the wheel to talk with endless power
Mar 2nd
Conceived by French designer Josselin Zaïgouche, the “Wheely Talkie” is a new walkie talkie concept that not only lets you remain connected but also helps in sustaining the environment, for the users can charge it on the go without any energy source. In case the device runs short of battery in an emergency, all the user need to do is run it on your pants to juice up its battery once again. Featuring speaker + microphone and battery level indicator, the ecological walkie talkie can be clipped to your belt for safe and easy transportation. You can roll the built-in nonskid wheel of the Wheely Talkie with one hand to charge it with ease anywhere, anytime.

Santa’s Little Helper – Paul McCarthy
Sep 26th
Over the past four decades, Paul McCarthy’s work has gone from intimate performance videos to spectacular public sculptures — all without sacrificing its unnerving psychosexual tone. While the artist’s recent show at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York surprised many with its unornamented structuralism, its restraint was comically upstaged by the unmooring of his giant inflatable dog turd at Switzerland’s Zentrum Paul Klee, which left a trail of downed power lines in its wake. It was as if McCarthy’s art had unleashed on the Swiss countryside the cartoonish extravagance that had been put on the back burner for the Whitney.
Not that McCarthy hasn’t paid tribute to the twisted pop-mythological deities of the American psyche. “I’m interested in caricatures — from Miss Piggy to Popeye to Santa Claus — that are cultural fabrications,” observes the 63-year-old artist from his LA home. “Santa is one that I’ve hung on to longer, that I repeat more. There’s the whole thing of Christmas and consumption and commodity, and its relationship to capitalism and Western culture and Americana. The character itself is this roly-poly patriarch with a beard — almost a godlike figure.” In fact, he notes, one of his earliest childhood drawings is of Santa Claus.
