Working iPod trapped in resin for art's sake
Billy Chasen is the artist in question, and here's the best part of the whole story: that iPod you see above? It still works. Apparently he just took it apart-- he didn't actually disconnect anything, and so it can still charge and play as normal. Which makes me wonder-- when the next ice age comes and all of our iPods get frozen in ice, will future generations still be able to come along, warm them back up, and see what we were listening to? Maybe I should get that Tiffany off my Pod just in case.

Is the Dock Connector exposed so that you can still use it, or do we have to break the casing? It'd be cool if you didn't have to... connect a remote, and you could at least start the Shuffle Music list.

I like how it's propped up by legos. Now THAT'S art.

Let's hope he does not have a dog.
Seriously, that is pretty cool.

This is actually very very cool. The technique needs some refinement to get everything aligned properly and lose the bubbles, but that's just technical. His basic concept is something that can get him going very far if he runs with it.
