Man Turns Destroyed iPads, iPods, iPhones Into Art

apple_art_targeting.jpeg

Exploded iPads, melted iPods, shattered iPhones. Tragedy incarnate for the gadget obsessed or works of art? Michael Taggert has made a fairly compelling argument for the latter, destroying a slew of Apple products (including the above image of an iPhone 3G shot with a handgun entitled “Targeting”) and getting his pal Paul Fairchild to take some graphic shots of the carnage.

The photos are now hanging at Palo Alto’s WhiteSpace Gallery, a hop, skip, and jump away from One Infinite Loop. And while Taggert clearly relishes the destruction, he’s an Apple lover who once actually built the products as a member of the company’s legendary design team.

Those who don’t share Taggert’s enthusiasm for the company’s products, however, will likely find a lot to like in the artistic mayhem. Check out some shots after the jump. More images are available over at CNET.
