Here’s a beautiful little application of technology– one that plays right into my obsession with proxies and surrogacy . . .
A camera that displays other people’s photographs taken at the same moment that you press the shutter release. It has no optical parts– it just acts as a search tool for photographs of a particular moment in time. It’s creator, Sascha Pohflepp, calls it a “Blind Camera.”
Julian Bleeker points out that the software running this device could just as easily reside on your home computer, but it would be much less captivating (and poetic).
