New York’s Friedrich Petzel Gallery is currently showing the third solo show by German artist Dirk Skreber. The show consists of Skreber’s new ‘pluck’ paintings and two life-size sculptures of crashed cars. The art has consistently dealt with catastrophe in his work, mining the subject for its energy and unpredictable nature. The show’s main feature is two life size crashed cars. Both vehicles are wrapped around poles and mysteriously clean despite their horrific crumpled appearance.

The show is running until June 27th.

Antonio Citterio’s Flat C is a storage unit designed to house books, a television, and hi-fi accessories in the smallest amount of space possible. It’s one of the most versatile units we’ve had the pleasure of covering as the adjustment of shelf heights can easily alter their proper uses. The shelves can be used as a work station for a computer if installed at 70 cm and if installed at 45 cm, those same shelves are perfect for a home entertainment system and are designed to hold audio and video equipment.

Well-known computer graphics company NVIDIA and mobile solutions company icon icar have teamed up to develop a 3-D gauge cluster for cars. There’s definitely a whole lot going on in these clusters like radio and navigation information along with the standard speedometer and fuel gauge. Everything’s presented in a very appealing display, that might even end up lowering costs for manufacturers because everything is digital (Changing measurements like mph to kpm and Fahrenheit to Celsius would require no additional parts).  (more…)
