Anything for art?

I found this REALLY interesting article about this male artist from Iraq, Wafaa Bilal, who implanted a camera into the back of his skull for the sake of a year-long project that would take a picture every minute. The camera was causing an infection, so he had to get surgery. This article poses a very interesting question of how far is too far in the world of art? Apparently for Bilal, it looks like nothing will stop him from taking pictures.

  3. Wow, to implant a camera behind your head for art's sake...now that's daring! I've never heard about Bilal, so thanks for presenting him and his work to us!
