Apple Products Get Chopped, Shot, Smashed, and Burned [Destruction]

What does Michael Tompert against Apple? Probably nothing! He’s just an artist who happens to have spectacularly destroyed tons of of their products for his new art exhibit. Above: a sledgehammered iPhone 4 and a neatly sliced Magic Mouse.

Tompert’s show, 12LVE, opens tonight at San Francisco’s Live Worms Gallery. It’s a collaboration with photographer Paul Fairchild, who shot the gadgets in typical gadget-porn fashion (up close, against a stark white background), allowing viewers to get intimate with the destruction.

Cult of Mac has a few of the exhibition’s excellent images:

” Breathe,” a 2008 MacBook Air shot with a 9mm Heckler & Koch handgun.

” Have to have,” an iPhone 4 smashed with a 8 lb Sledge Maul.

” Magic Trick,” a Magic Mouse cut by a handsaw.

And that’s only a taste. Investigate dismembered iPod Nanos, incinerated iPads and more over at Cult of Mac. [ CultofMac ]
