Taking art to a different level... once more

A couple of weeks back we talked about the performance artist Stelios Arcadiou ("Stelarc") who pushed the human body to the limits. Today, I found a similar guy who did a crazy thing to live up to "having eyes in the back of the head": he installed a camera in the back of his head. The camera will take a snapshot of his daily life every minute for a year. He's not just doing it out of a whim, but he's doing it for the sake of art: he'll be presenting the photos to the Museum of Modern Art in Qatar. I don't know what will come out of his gig, but he's definitely defining a new way to invasion of privacy (though I can't really say that because it's his own doing).
