Lauf Cycling
Lauf Cycling is an Icelandic bicycle brand based in Reykjavik, Iceland. They specialise in gravel bikes. The Lauf Forks idea was born over a cold bike-ride aprés beer in a cramped basement apartment in Reykjavik around Christmas-time 2010. Avid mountain biker and engineer Benedikt Skulason, at the time working as an R&D engineer for a high-end composite prosthetic feet company, pitched his idea of a super-light revolutionary bicycle suspension fork to his good friend and industrial designer Gudberg Bjornsson. They are most commonly known for their invention of the Lauf Spring: a pivotless trailing link fork. A set of glass fiber springs are attached between the wheel set and the forks of a bike. Manufacturing is done in Iceland, with subsidiary dealers found in both Europe and the United States. The company gained media attention, when Canadian Cyclocross National Champion, Michael Van Den Ham used Lauf bikes for his successful competition wins in 2018. See also *Bicycl ...

Hans Freiherr Von Geyer Zu Lauf
Hans Freiherr von Geyer zu Lauf (14 January 1895 – 10 August 1959) was a German painter who was born in Freiburg and grew up in the suburb Günterstal. In 1917 he moved to Dießen am Ammersee and in 1919 to Schönberg on the Hessische Bergstraße.

The Way Things Go
''The Way Things Go'' (german: Der Lauf der Dinge) is a 1987 16 mm art film by the Swiss artist duo Peter Fischli and David Weiss. It documents a long causal chain assembled of everyday objects and industrial materials in the manner of a Rube Goldberg machine, though without the trope of accomplishing a relatively mundane task at the end. Description The installation was in the artists' Zürich warehouse studio, about 100 feet long, and incorporated materials such as tires, trash bags, ladders, soap, oil drums, old shoes, water, and gasoline. Fire and pyrotechnics were used as chemical triggers. The film is 29 minutes and 45 seconds long, but some of that is spent waiting for something to burn, dissolve, or slowly slide down a ramp. Long processes with little visible change are skipped with a fade out/fade in. The film is presented as a single sequence of events, but careful observation reveals over two dozen film edits. The film evolved out of work the artists did on their e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
