Installing a camera in the back of your head? Streaming live video of students (without their permission) to a museum for public display? Yeah, this seems like a brilliant idea all the way around. :rolleyes:

For one year, Mr. Bilal's camera will take still pictures at one-minute intervals, then feed the photos to monitors at the museum. The thumbnail-sized camera will be affixed to his head through a piercing-like attachment, his NYU colleagues say. Mr. Bilal declined to comment for this story.

Sounds like he needs to have his ass shipped back to his beloved homeland...

For a 2008 project, "Virtual Jihadi," Mr. Bilal hacked a video game to insert an avatar of himself as a suicide-bomber hunting President George W. Bush.

If the camera will be powered by his bodily energy, this is still awesome.

And who cares if he's Muslim.. everyone hates Bush.
 
is this a terrorist plot with the museum being his cover?

i'd shove the camera in his head while he's being filmed and post it at the ync . com <-- that's my museum
 
Dude, I made a bong OUTA MY HEAD. Denis Leary for those not old enough to know him before his TV days.

:rolleyes: It's not that he's Muslim, it's that he's acting like a total *hat. Tattoo maps with locations of dead Americans and Iraqis on your body, hack a game to "blow up Bush"...

You guys would be having a total fit if someone tried to do this in a game with your beloved Os... er, excuse me, Obama. Some of us did (and still do) like Bush one heck of a lot more than Obama.
 
I guess it is true that some people have eyes in the back of their head. If this device isn't powered via bodily energy, then keeping it powered is going to be a very ugly, cumbersome process.
 
Sounds like an interesting experiment. His other projects sound just as interesting as well.

Besides, he's already agreed not to have the camera on at all times (plus, he's undergoing surgery to get this done).

During the course of the discussions, Mr. Bilal has informed all of his students of his plans and has agreed to cover the camera with a black lens cap while on university property, according to Mr. Ritchin. Another proposal would require him to turn off the camera while in NYU buildings, Mr. Beckman said.

You're right. There are no games (non-hacked) that allow the virtual assination of President Obama. This guy is a acting like a total "hat".

Furthermore, I concede this is a different situation since the creators of the Obama assasinating games wouldn't be put in a "terrorist" watch-list, labeled unpatroitic, and mishandled at airports.

You guys totally missed the point. Defense of a foreigner in our country who is even jokingly making negative references towards killing our sitting president is utter crap. So you don't like Bush... don't assume everyone doesn't. Many of us don't like the current president, either.

I'm not saying there should be a game to assassinate anyone. I'd go to bat for Obama because he's our president. What I am saying is just because you don't like a president doesn't make it alright to do crap like this guy did.

A camera on the back of your head is fine and all, but previous insults to this country overpower anything cool he might do with it.

If this guy didn't like our country and/or Bush... why is he here in the first place?

I'm not assuming everyone doesn't like Bush, of course there are people that like that fake retarded cowboy.

It's free speech, something even foreigners are entitled to in this country believe it or not. Why would it matter that he's a foreigner or a Muslim or anything else?, that's all i was addressing. I'm more considered about the corrupt politicians and banks raping our wallets over some men in caves who hate us.

I live in the U.S. and i say so much shit about this country, but i still live here because i'm still hanging on to what this country is about, i'd gladly move to Canada as soon as it really starts getting bad. Because why does it matter?, it's just land.

Mr. Bilal is an artist, and he does what he does to promote intellectual discussion. He has succeeded already, and for that I congratulate him.
 
Yeah this is one way to go about it.. surgery with a camera... I mean you could also just wear a hat with a camera on the back and get a similar effect.
 
at first i thought this was about an idiot who put a camera to view the inside of his head... but apparently he's even dumber than that
