Artist Wafaa Bilal underwent a “very hard” surgical operation to implant a digital camera mount on the back of his head, upon which a “third eye” will snap photos every minute for a full year, uploading them automatically to a website and a museum in Qatar.
“I’m interested in these corners of our life we don’t pay attention to,” says Bilal. “To me, it’s like, that’s part of the project. That’s part of the mundane image.”
The camera will go live beginning December 15, 2010.
