A tiny camera has been surgically implanted to the back of a New York University (NYU) professor’s head – all in the name of art.
Visual artist Wafaa Bilal teaches at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. He had the surgery for a project called The 3rd I. It’s been commissioned by a new museum in the Arab Gulf state of Qatar that opens December 30.
The Iraqi-born artist will wear the camera for a year and capture images at one-minute intervals that will be transmitted to monitors at the museum. He says details of the project will be revealed at a December 15 preview at the museum.
NYU is concerned about how the artwork will impact students. It says it’s talking with Bilal how best to protect privacy.
Music to my ear holes~

ahh alright if you really want to know.
i don’t like: my tendency to try to control situations; the procrastinator in me; my ability to get really nasty when i’m stressed out or frustrated. as for what i do like: my talent at photography; being assertive in getting what i want out of my life; my style.
what an interesting question. hmmm. technically, i’m a human female made up of atoms, matter, synchronized by energies. from my perspective? i’m a person who likes the morbid, the surreal and the strange. i’m someone who is detached quite often, but submerged the times i am not. i feel like i’m underwater a lot of the time, if you know that feeling. i’m assertive and sometimes too blunt for my own good. i’m a ton of flaws held together by good intentions; i guess that explains it, ya?
i’m a human female who likes to take photos is the most simple answer i have for you.
give me some suggestions. its gotten a bit neglected this past month. i need some serious inspiration.
thanks :) well, i listen to a lot of everything. lately it’s been foals, warpaint, coco rosie, nicki minaj, parachute, modest mouse (always modest mouse), radiohead and anberlin. i like weird shit too. not really into country, but i do like taylor swifts music and that one whiskey lullaby song.
