Useless Gadget Hybrids

'Unintended Fusion' Connects Unrelated Objects

Christian Weber's 'Unintended Fusion' series is a clever look at our obsession with hybridization. Each piece connects two functional but unrelated objects to create an utterly useless hybrid gadget. There's a video game controller connected to a soccer ball, earbuds plugged into an aerosol can and an amp connected to the arm cuff of a blood pressure monitor.

We've seen more than our fair share of multitasking devices that are either ridiculous or useless, and Christian Weber satirizes them all with 'Unintended Fusion.'
