Artist Pays Homage To Apple By Destroying Its Products

Artist Michael Tompert takes Apple’s products and wrecks them with blowtorches, sledgehammers, handsaws and handguns. His large-scale prints of the detritus are surprisingly colorful and beautiful.

“It’s an alternate viewpoint,” explained Tompert at a preview of his first gallery show, which opens in San Francisco today. They’re beautiful inside. They’re beautiful when you open them up.

Tearing products apart is now a form of “art”.
