11.5 FAQ5 - The Third I

CNN reports on 12/2/2010:

* A New York University Professor [Wafaa Bilal] installed a thumb-sized camera in back of his head for art exhibit
* Iraqi born photography professor had the procedure done at a piercing studio last month
* The camera will take a single snap-shot each minute of everyday activities for one year

This is an implanted mini-camera, no less. Incredibly, the procedure was done at a "piercing studio", an accident, in many forms, waiting to happen. It also begs the question: "why not a head-mounted camera":

Just point it the other way?

Tentative answer: An artist's mind works differently from yours and mine?
