Curiouser and curiouser...
analog aesthetics meets digital information
These are pretty interesting gizmos. Take a look at the company's philosophy and concept of "ambient information." More signs of the post-human? Could the post-human be spreading (not that it already hasn't) to spaces? Beyond the body? Somehow a glowing orb that "knows" things shifting and changing all of the time seems a little creepy (in a good way).
Enjoy.

Hahaha the orb can track the terror alert level.
It's funny, I looked at those and said "how sci-fi," but chromey things with wires and edges would have elicited the same response. I wonder if there's a awy to correlate shifts in the technology presented as "futuristic" with shifts in the perception of technology and the future in general. For instance, these are very organic; is this because we want to subsume technology with the body, and make our gadgets visibly extensions of ourselves?
