We could wax poetic about the merger of art and technology when talking about Logical Art’s Empty Memory USB Memory Sticks (€48-€60/~$62-$77), or we could just cut to the chase and tell you these are some really cool looking 4GB flash drives. There are actually two different styles in the family—Transparency and Structure—both of which come accented with one of three different metals. Any version will really stand out from the plastic options that currently dominate the memory stick market.
Of the two, Transparency is more basic, but still quite beautiful. Available with a stainless steel, rose gold, or black rhodium cap, the majority of the stick is a clear plastic block, and it looks really cool sticking out of a USB port. Structure is even more of a standout. It has a wireframe-like design, made with a special process called lost-wax casting. The result is nice enough to serve as a piece of art, but the fact that it can hold a thousand songs (or 4GB of other files) is a definite bonus.
