Russian Artists Create Man-Sized, Melted, Working iPod
Posted by John Herrman at 11:00 PM on September 29, 2008
The 'WowPod' might not the be first oversized, semi-functioning iPod, but it's probably the strangest. Perhaps taking cues from Salvador Dali (The Persistence of Flash Memory? Anyone? Sorry?), Aristarkh Chernyshev and Alexei Shulgi have not just blown up and distorted an iPod — they've thrown in some functionality. Their site is low on details, but from the looks of it they may actually have the display connected to a iPod Classic's video output. The rest is up to speculation: are the controls mapped? Are the earbuds speakers? What does it mean? What is art? Who am I? and so on. [XLGallery via Make]

ugh. pictures stopped showing up when I'm at work. Did something change on this side or did the proxy team at the office just make my list?

Art is mankind's attempt to re-enter the safety and comfort of the womb, but simultaneously capture the fear and excitement of the birth moment.
Well... you asked.
