Part of an art project called Between Blinks and Buttons by the magically named Sascha Pohflepp, the Blind Camera has no optics and takes no photos. Instead, the fake shutter button triggers a mobile phone hidden inside to retrieve and display a photo from Flickr that was taken at that exact same moment. Sez the artist:
Taking a photo means making a memory. Choosing a moment in time and framing a situation. Archiving it or making it public. Either way, we create a visual item that we have an emotional attachment to through our memory. Photos help us to remember moments in our past. Often they even become a memory in their own right. For many, making their moments public through services like Flickr is already part the process of photography itself, creating archives which contain a vast collection of visual fragments of individual lives.
Fair enough.
