"ERECT'O'MAIL", e-mail remainder balloon by namaiki

このプロジェクトについて

IDEA BY
"Namaiki", an artist/design unit based in Tokyo, formed of 2 member, Michael Frank from the U.K and David Dval Smith from NZ.
CONCEPT
E-mail reminder, "elect'o'mail".
FUNCTION
A web-connected gadget that check and indicate the number of e-mail stocked in your mail box. The baloon installed on the top inflates with the number of "unread" e-mails stocked in your mail box.
The baloon will fly-away or explodes if the number of "unread e-mails" exceeds the limit that can be initially setted.
You will have a new liife by using the pop-artistic gadget.
 
HISTORY
This project was originally posted in 2000, as a serial feature of BRUTUS magazine, "CUUSOO KADEN (cuusoo electronics)", where selected creators post any ideas to discuss with the cuusoo founder Kohei Nishiyama.
In 2000, it was a kind of difficult idea to be realized, however with the on-going technology nowaday, we can get it in real. How about voting on this to see the actual product with us ?
