Being built by Rimac Automobili, the Rimac Concept_One is being built as a supercar running on electricity. The most unusual part of the supercar is its “new” powertrain, which has been divided into four sub-systems.

Jordan’s work would look like a recreation of some of best known works of art, but there is a deeper meaning to see.

What do people do with CDs these days? Trash them or convert them to art, obviously. French artist Elise Morin and architect Clémence Eliard teamed up to hand sew some 65000 CDs and placed them on inflatable mounds, thus creating a sea of discs.
