Digital Natives, Matthew Plummer-Fernandez
Digital Natives by Matthew Plummer-Fernandez – 2012
” Everyday items such as detergent bottles and a watering can are 3D scanned using a digital camera and subjected to algorithms that distort, abstract and taint them into new primordial vessel forms. In some cases only close inspection reveals traces inherited from their physical predecessors.”…
House of the Bulgarian Communist Party
“House of the Bulgarian Communist Party” – Mount Buzludzha – 1981
The Communists new how to throw together a fine ass building. Even if it didn’t have any true purpose. More pictures and information here.
Update 03/04/2020: I actually visited here in 2015, I can confirm it’s a long drive up, and very very cold.…
Citroën Karin – Absurd Anal Symmetry
Citroën Karin. Car presented at the Paris Motor Show 1980
Check this shit out. It’s all tasty on the dashboard front, but I’ve purposefully omitted the colour photos of the beige exterior, search them if you want to see why. Things to note: interior door handles, radio/calculator/phone type thing in the left footwell, and the rear view camera and screen.…

The Meigs Elevated Railway – 1886

Bell Aurens Longnose – Land Rover Special
I’m indulging myself in a morning of automotive absurdity. Walk with me. This is the ‘Bell Aurens Longnose’, a Land Rover of sorts, but more of a yacht. It’s massive, but then it was intended to run on the 27l Merlin engine used in the Spitfires back in WWII, however they were forced into installing a Rover V8.…
Hydra Coupe – Daniel Simon
Here’s a video too, just too. Dammit, the man’s got my job. Also, he designed the concept for the vehicles in Tron Legacy. Check his website here.…
Hydra Coupe – Daniel Simon
So last night, amongst many other vehicular monstrosities my Dad had alerted my attention to, I found this. It’s the ‘Hydra Coupe’ that starred recently in Captain America. Whilst I felt the film was shite, this motor is definitely ballin’. Like it in red, but the military look justifies those ribbed side panels nicely.…
