We've seen a lot of cool flash drives, from a $3,000 Victorinox Swiss Army drive to a pair of classy thumb drive cufflinks. But British company Logical Art is giving the storage genre a decidedly artistic spin with its new Empty Memory flash drive.
Empty Memory definitely favors form over function, as the drive only holds a total of 4GB of data. But it packs all that data into an incredibly small space, leaving the bulk of the drive as an artsy void. It's a statement about Moore's Law and how much these portable data units have shrunk over the years. Or maybe it's not — we're much better versed on tech than modern art.
The drives come in two different designs, one called Transparency and another called Structure. Empty Memory sells for £48-60 — about $75-94. That's somewhat pricey for their size, but hey, good art never comes cheap.
