iPad-1935

If the iPad was invented back in 1935, it would look something like this. Appearing in the issue of Everyday Science and Mechanics, this machine is a microfilm reader. I doubt anyone is that old to remember what it really is.
Its attached to a large pole and photographed pages would be enlarged on a glass screen and buttons would navigate the machine allowing for focusing and flipping the pages. In 1935, this was the "it" thing to have.

Mirrored-Sculptures

Rob Mulholland is a Scottish-based sculptor and installation artist. His work, spanning over two decades, has included large conceptual pieces that involved local schools and the community such as ‘The Green Man’ in Glasgow, which was made from over 293,000 recycled cans and measured over 300ft long, and more recently his installations of life-size mirrored human figures placed in different locations and landscapes. These reflective silhouettes are becoming Rob’s trademark and have attracted much media interest. He plans to take the figures to New York.

Unique-Mine-Furniture

Estonian sculptor Mati Karmin has been creating art for over 25 years, but his marine mine furniture and decor are perhaps his most breathtaking work to date, and indeed some of the most unique pieces you'll ever take out a second mortgage on your house to buy.
A deep-sea mining exhibition on Naissaar Island in the Gulf of Finland provides the setting for Karmin's Soviet-era stories brought to life. In 1942, Russia created an enormous, galvanic, AGSB-type mine in its secret military facilities on Naissar. The mines were equipped with a "Blok" device and two contact electro-magnetic antennas, and created to combat submarines. Original mine capsules measured 34.5 inches in diameter, and weighed 2,513 pounds. Their explosive charge was 529 pounds. The Russkie production lot could have mined the entire Gulf of Finland in a matter of hours.

Fantastic Series of Furniture Blending Aluminum and Wood

The rough, intentionally rugged concrete skins of Brutalist buildings were meant to record the process by which they were made. The wood plank formwork used to mold the walls imprinted on their surfaces a textured, abrasive quality in a manner that re-infused contemporary architecture with the type of craftsmanship that had been banned at the commencement of the Modernist project. This ‘honest’ expression of building coveted fidelity to the inherent ‘character’ of the material at hand–an aesthetic imperative that could only be upheld through the thoughtful act of physical making. This same pathos is evident in the work of designer Hilla Shamia, whose “wood casting” furniture hybridizes organic material with abstract forms using industrial techniques.
