Eyes in the back of his head

A New York professor plans to implant a camera in the back of his head so that he can take pictures at one-minute intervals which will be streamed to the Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art in Qatar (opening next month), reports the Wall Street Journal. Wafaa Bilal, an Iraqi assistant professor in the photography and imaging department of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, will undertake the project for a year (though there are apparently student privacy issues on the NY campus). The work, entitled The 3rd I, is intended as "a comment on the inaccessibility of time, and the inability to capture memory and experience", according to a museum press blurb.
