We’re guessing that you heard about medical implants that are used to help patients to see again. It seems that these implants are quite popular nowadays, and that even health people want it. Actually, there’s just a single person that wants an implant in his head and that’s Wafaa Bilal.

Wafaa Bilal is a perfectly healthy Iraqi assistant professor at New York University, and he doesn’t want an implant in his eye, no, he wants a camera implant in back of his head. The reason is, he wants to contribute to the museum exhibit called 3rdI, and camera is supposed to take pictures in one minute intervals through entire year and send them wirelessly to Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art in Qatar.

This might be an interesting idea, if you’re not concerned about your privacy, but would you feel comfortable knowing that you might turn out to be a part of an exhibit in a museum one day?
