❝ Contained within my work are serial arrangements and architectonic constructions. Whether composed of variable units in real space or networks on paper, rules are decided and a system developed from many parts. Much is borrowed from popular printed material (magazines, books, advertisements and packaging), where each element carries some of its previous meaning, language, and history. Excised from its original source, a fragment is combined with others to create a subjective framework, rooted in the act of collecting and cataloging. Through this process, materials transcend the mundane, forming the skeleton of a unique, nuanced structure. The scale consistently remains within the range of the architectural model and occupies the peculiar place of simultaneously being thoroughly complete and merely an unrealized prototype of something quite monumental. ❞ ~Matthew Northridge
There is a great deal of consumer cell phones out there that go down in price with each day that passes. What is cool today is ultimately old news tomorrow. That’s the lifestyle a geek lives by, and to some extent, it is seriously true. New technologies are revealed each day, and we frolic in them until the next “cool” thing arrives at our feet. And that’s in an increasing pace to say the least. We’re used to cell phones being revealed, marketed and sold only to become retro a few months later. It’s just the landscape of how technology works these days.
However, there are still products out there that can tickle our fancy and maintain their momentum and value no matter how old they get. Those things are usually limited edition items. The Celcius X VI II LeDIX Oirine cell phone is a perfect example of that. It’s developed by Celcius X VI II, and by the look of it, it’s a hell of a cell phone if you ask me. It’s almost on the border of being too techy and cool, and it’s somewhat steampunk if you will.
The clam shell cell phone sports a tourbillion watch combined with a cell phone, and it has some rather geeky features. How about a futuristic slot for your battery and a casing made completely out of titanium? The feature list is way too long to be incorporated into this post, but check out their official website and let your mind get twisted only to spiral back into madness. It’s too cool for words!
