Gel Remote
Adbusters’ soft and milky Gel Remote looks like a delicious food and get me thinking about the sensation of touch. It is one of the most ubiquitous pieces of modern technology redesigned by Panasonic.
Constructed of a soft, flesh-like gel, the remote appears cold when off. Once turned on, however, it seems to come to life. A soft light emanates somewhere from within as the center of the device begins to slowly rise and fall, mimicking the tranquil motions of breath. Left undisturbed, the remote will slumber peacefully. Buth should a human hand approach, sensors inside alert it to the imminent touch. It stops breathing, grows rigid – the light from within is extinguished. A remote is the ideal meaphor for the disturbance electronic distration poses to life. If we had to interrupt its life before it could interrupt ours, we may think twice before picking it up. [via..]

Little phallic, isn’t it?
When was the last time you saw a remote that wasn’t phallic?
I don’t know about phallica, but it certainly looks like a penis.
Looks too fluid to be practical. If, by gravity alone, it conforms to that much offset, then this is a failed design: it would nearly ‘flow’ out of your one-hand grasp, forcing a 2 handed usage mode.
“Looks too fluid to be practical. If, by gravity alone, it conforms to that much offset, then this is a failed design: it would nearly ‘flow’ out of your one-hand grasp, forcing a 2 handed usage mode.”
If you read it is says it becomes rigid when you put your hand near it. (The other interpretations of that sentence are not lost on me by the way.)
Yummy!
Egads how old are you people and when was the last time you saw a penis?
If you are a child wait until you reach puberty before you comment on the glorious male appendage.
If I recall the last time I saw a mans wand it was about the size if a childs forearm, black and moving with much haste penetrating and retreating from my anus.
