IKEA Cardboard Digital Camera

IKEA is taking names and kicking asses. First, a all-in-one sleek white modern TV set and console. Now, a low-cost digital camera made out of cardboard. While most people use their smartphones as digital cameras, the new IKEA camera could be really fun to be surprised as to what photos you’ve taken. We’re so used to instant gratification that we forget how much pleasure can be derived by waiting.

From ckck:

Seems like IKEA are really shaking things up this year. In addition to the previously announced TV set, they’re also going to release a digital camera made of cardboard called Knäppa (“Snap”). It’ll hold 40 photographs at a time and plugs directly into your USB port. While it’s not the prettiest camera the world has ever seen, I do love the idea of a screen-less digital camera that brings people back to the wait-and-see days of film.

Memory Weights by Shu Chun Hsiao The thought of equating the weight of digital files with their size is intriguing. Similarly, seeing a file folder icon actually fill up as you fill it up is another ‘digital as physical’ concept. Shu Chun Hsiao’s Memory Weights are literally the weight of your world. The cemented usb drive tells the digital capacity by its weight. A concrete volume may clearly express the concept of digital data.
