A blind camera

Taking a photo means making a memory. Choosing a moment in time and framing a situation. Archiving it or making it public. Buttons takes on this notion of the camera as a networked object. It is a camera that will capture amoment at the press of a button. However, unlike a conventional analog or digital camera, this one doesn’t have any optical parts. It allows you to capture your moment but in doing so, it effectively seperates it from the subject. Instead, as you will memorize the moment, the camera memorizes only the time and starts to continuously search on the net for other photos that have been taken in the very same moment. As the saying goes, the picture completes the moment, no matter what it is. Nice art project by Sascha Pohflepp.
