It is somewhat heartening that the only real defender of this is Allislost with the cliche pentagram. I hope all that mascara and emo music is a phase...

- A camera with vials of HIV infected blood that passes through the camera and acts as a red filter.

- A camera with a baby heart preserved in formaldehyde

- A camera with a piece of the World Trade Centre on it

- A camera with deer antlers attached

This is some very provocative art, that's for sure!]]>Sep 24th 2008 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/third-eye-pinhole-camera-exposes-the-dead-mocks-the-living/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/third-eye-pinhole-camera-exposes-the-dead-mocks-the-living/
Personally, I'd take this over something like that. Even if I did not consent, at least I'd be doing something worthwhile post-mortem (well, along with organ donation, of course).]]>Sep 24th 2008 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/third-eye-pinhole-camera-exposes-the-dead-mocks-the-living/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/third-eye-pinhole-camera-exposes-the-dead-mocks-the-living/Sep 24th 2008 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/third-eye-pinhole-camera-exposes-the-dead-mocks-the-living/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/third-eye-pinhole-camera-exposes-the-dead-mocks-the-living/Sep 24th 2008 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/third-eye-pinhole-camera-exposes-the-dead-mocks-the-living/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/third-eye-pinhole-camera-exposes-the-dead-mocks-the-living/But THIS is just for someones "art" and profit, if he was to use a fake skull and weather it then fine but this is just desecration (and I'm just an agnostic)

If one wants to bring up those in museums, that mainly falls under knowledge, and people can donate themselves.
Mummies, kind of the same, but also preservation considering the amount of grave robbers and the little care they showed for the deceased

If he was to use a relative, maybe, but a 13y old girls skull? I doubt he tracked down the relatives and asked for their permisson

"Belger wants the images to be “processed” through the dead girls “enlightened” view instead of his own personal photographic vision. This creates a unique relationship between artist and medium. Unlike other photographers, or artists for that matter, where the final image is all the matters, for Belger the process and the tools are just as important. In fact, artist, artwork and process are completely integrated. In some ways he is modern day shaman who uses sacred relics to conjure visions and cast spells."

I hate this pretentious arty-farty claptrap. None of what is actually communicated relates directly to the quality of the work, and is just empty handwaving designed to distract from the fact that he uses an overly complex process to create a mediocre work. The more empty bull this kind of stuff is cushioned in, the less talented the artist. Oh, and the picture is a 'shop.

It's doesn't matter if his work is good or bad, what matters is that it creates an emotion in the people who see it and that's what it did in you... or else you wouldn't have said anything.]]>Sep 24th 2008 7:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/third-eye-pinhole-camera-exposes-the-dead-mocks-the-living/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/third-eye-pinhole-camera-exposes-the-dead-mocks-the-living/
Rotate it 180 degrees and you'll have made a statement. You see far fewer pentacles than you do pentagrams and the meaning has much more depth. And you'll get the attention from the uninformed mistaking it for a pentagram. It's nice when people wear their misconceptions on their sleeves.]]>Sep 24th 2008 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/third-eye-pinhole-camera-exposes-the-dead-mocks-the-living/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/third-eye-pinhole-camera-exposes-the-dead-mocks-the-living/

But...

Now I changed that to the image of Baphomet that could mean "Baptism of Wisdom", "The Father of Understanding" and my favorite, "absorption of knowledge" which coincides nicely with that fact that I'm studying like crazy.
