Wafaa Bilal, a visual artist widely recognized for his interactive and performance pieces, had a small digital camera implanted in the back of his head — all in the name of art.
Bilal said Tuesday that he underwent the procedure for an art project that was commissioned by a new museum in Doha, Qatar, in the Arab Gulf.
Titled "The 3rd I," it is one of 23 contemporary works commissioned for the opening of the Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art on Dec. 30. The exhibition is entitled "Told/Untold/Retold."
Ok what happens when the battery goes dead on the camera.

Gordon Clement, of Cherokee County, said he found thousands of dollars worth of drugs hidden in the painting.
The 80-year-old recounted how he discovered 4 pounds of marijuana stashed inside the frame of the painting he owns.
Clement bought the painting at a post office auction about five years ago. He discovered the drugs last weekend while trying to sell the artwork at another auction. Clement wanted $25 for the painting.
“It didn’t sell,” said Clement. But while a family member was lifting the painting back into the truck, they felt something moving inside. A worker then pried open the back with a screwdriver.
“And that’s when the discovery was made … 4 pounds of marijuana inside the picture frame,” said Clement.
“I didn’t know what to do,” said Clement.
Clement’s lawyer told him to call police, which he did. Investigators told Clement that the pot was worth $4,800.
So since the pot was 5 years old, is it still good enough to smoke? I mean does weed has an expiration date?

Brian Boland, 52, a former teacher, hot-air balloon designer and balloon pilot who runs the rural Post Mills Airport in Thetford, Vt., stands with his 'Vermontasaurus,' where the 25-foot tall oddity thrown together with scrap wood now faces opposition from a few neighbors and regulatory challenges from government entities that he fears could force him to dismantle what was built with the help of some area residents as an artistic collaboration. Government doean't want us to have any fun.
