Art & Design. Exploded iPod
Art & Design. Exploded Ipod: The iPod with its ever-evolving design and overexposed popularity is quite possibly one of the most recognizable icons of our century. Billy Chasen has chosen to make an art of this common phenomenom with his "Exploded iPod." Encased in clear resin, the iPod is naked in all its glory, looking like a preserved artifact in glass, something which would seem fit for a classic. Ironically that visual effect in the resin was an accident, according to Chasen "The bubbles happened during a mistake on my last pour, but a lot of people have now told me they like the serendipitous addition."
Yet even while it's dissected and on display for our viewing analyzation, it's ability to still function and work make it all the more intriguing. Chasen made a point to keep the working parts together so he could still use it, by embedding "the internals of the dock on the bottom" He adds "That's how I can control it, charge it, and listen to it."
