"There have been all sorts of cyborgs in science fiction for a long time, and I'm sort of a sci-fi geek," said Vlach, 35. "With the advancement of technology, I thought, 'Why not?'"

Well for starters, every single person you interact with might have to sign a waiver before you can use their image for profit publically on your web site.

Unlike google driving around on the street, there really still are some expectations of privacy indoors or away from public events.

Seems like she'd be able to work around it though.

Do we get to see "her" package?

The old world dies, and with it the old ways.

So it's like JenniCam meets IrisCam then?

I "think" that would actually be a "neat" "project."

POV porn.

"Tanya Vlach, who lost an eye in a 2005 car accident, thinks installin a Web cam into her prosthesis would be quite a sight."

Another case of writing how the author speaks.

Seems like a hassle when you can just put on a covert camera hat ^

Seven of Vlach?

olhado?

That is the coolest thing I ever heard a cripple do!

Is it just me, our have our standards with respect to who we call "artists" declined in recent years?

It's not "art", it's a gimmick.

I'm intrigued...

ClockworkOrangeDroog: I'm intrigued...

What's that thing on her right breast? EWWWWWWWW!!!!

Does that mean I have to sign a release or only go at it from behind?

/artist chickies are great
//too bad they can only cook ramen

/one-eyed artist?

GIS for "empty eye socket".

You know you want to, you sick piece of shiat.

brewssuds: ClockworkOrangeDroog: I'm intrigued...

It's called a "mole", and I think she might, uh, want to get that, uh, looked at.

/will volunteer

"the camera, which would be encased in Vlach's prosthesis to avoid moisture, could link wirelessly to a smart phone. "

With all the talk (unproven one way or the other) of cellphone radiation screwing your cells from being next to your skull....do you really want such a source inside your actual skull?

/not being a luddite...just askin'

It's been done, in fiction at least.

Watch the pre-title sequence of Gerry Anderson's "Doppelgänger" (aka "Journey to the Far side of the Sun"). An espionage agent has a miniature camera hidden inside of his glass eye.

I think the term "artist" is thrown around to liberally these days..

So if she went to the movies, i could watch for free?

Will she be allowed to enter cinemas/theaters/concerts with that thing? Or will they go like "Lady, I'll have to ask you to remove your eye"? Just wonderin'...

Oh great. I read this link after the paranoia one.

/Yep, they're all after me.
/This proves it.

We can only hope she's a lesbian.

"I think the term "artist" is thrown around too liberally these days.."

this...


from her "project"

"Colibrita Productions is a multidisciplinary think tank introducing new concepts and models to merge different art mediums. Colibrita chooses to defy categories, definitions, and boxes. Colibrita is a small movement aimed to provoke dialogue from varying points of view in a cultural spectrum through public art, media, exhibitions, zines, performances, etc."

As a working artist and educator I can say this:

Get a job, ma'am.

zolchor: olhado?

Haha, you beat me to it.

valido: Will she be allowed to enter cinemas/theaters/concerts with that thing? Or will they go like "Lady, I'll have to ask you to remove your eye"? Just wonderin'...

Probably have to wear an eye-patch to avoid issues like this.

/Arr!

/Sounds familiar

zolchor:

Only if you want video of trees and piggies.

McKeesport Beer Baron: I think the term "artist" is thrown around to liberally these days every generation..

Van Goh was never recognized as an artist in his lifetime. The impressionists also struggled to be recognized.

It's a TV set.

Oops... didn't see that you beat me to it.

Yeah, probably. Flight takeoffs and landings too...

My girlfriend has an acrylic prosthetic eyecap, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies...

/I'll never forget the first time she pulled out a little suction cup and *shploink* out it came
//good times.

I had a hairstylist refuse to work on me because I came in with a too specific idea of how I wanted my hair cut. He said that if he did just go ahead and cut it, he would not feel fulfilled as an artist.

She should save up her money and invest in Zeiss eyes.

You're kidding, right?

For a minute, I seriously thought that was a shot from the other end, looking up.

Translation: I'm utterly useless and use bullshiat to cover that fact.

Approves

That is full to the brim with win.

/likes the cyborg hotties

I wonder if she prefers lemon-lime over orange...
