You know, some of you guys need to get a grip. Obviously being that she is an artist, they are taking advantage of her looks... and yes, she has glamor shots all over the place, it's part of her trade mark which isn't unusual for the artsy types.

She has probably brought more money to MIT than grants have been given to her due to her many awards and the fact that she caught the eyes of many art observers.

With that, she's at MIT and uses the aid of modern technology to create her work, which I'm guessing is a lot more complex than photoshop and a heck of a lot more relevant to Gizmodo than some of those titty warmer posts everyone flocks to (no offense to the posts, just pointing out that I've noticed).

Do I like the art? No, not at all, but I don't have an artistic bone in my body.

Anyhow, I'm thinking everyone passed up the last sentence in the post, which was really what it was about:

"Are there any objects, maybe even gadgets, that truly made you want to know how they were inspired?"

Thank you, Rosa. I am now going to contact my brother at MIT and find out if he knows anything about this hottie. I mean, visionary.

Looking to nature for technological inspiration, and drawing design from function is, to me, one of the pinnacles of engineering. The results are so stunningly complex and singularly simple simultaneously.

Numbers 1 and 2 in the gallery are beautiful expressions of human form. The different shapes, imagery and organic symmetry in numbers 5 and 6 are incredible. #nerioxman

I'm not sure this would be a good thing for me to keep in my car, though I do want one. I just fear I'd take joy in making it frown. God help me and it if it has a "scared" emote. I have to commute about 60 miles a day through/around (w/e works that day) DC to Virginia (from MD) and it can be a pretty harrowing experience when it isn't moving 5mph...

And for the past week we've had rain... if there is one thing MD drivers can not handle, it's weather.
