Go with the Flow (by Filippo Cuttica)
Go with the Flow is a new way to visualize email. Built of tubes and wires, the contraption filters your incoming emails into three cylinders – work, family, and friends – and colours them accordingly. That’s kind of neat on its own, but here’s where it gets interesting: you actually haven’t received any emails yet. They’re just backed up and chillin’. To receive emails, you operate valves beneath each tube, allowing water to trickle down into a physical inbox. Depending on how far you’ve opened a valve, you’ll receive a proportional amount of emails from that category.

Applied physics…buoyancy. Cool, yes, but why would you do this?

RA News: Dadahack debut with TAP3
The album is as much a musical effort as it is a playful comment on technological advancement. In addition to being available for digital download, TAP3 is, as its name suggests, a cassette tape, but by no means a normal one–it also functions as a digital music player, so listeners can simply plug in their headphones and hear the album. This unusual presentation is meant to both embrace and reject the digital era, harking back to a time when music was confined to a physical existence within a hand-held product.
ok, this alone makes me want to buy it already, like a small art piece. i’m still looking for my original issue FM3 buddha machine in my mass of possessions.
