The Head wearable communication sculpture, bag or …
More of an art project, but I found the idea intriguing:
“The Head is a wearable sculpture with connection to internet and public access via mobile phone/sms.
The Head is available for adoption for the public. When someone adopts the piece they become responsible for it. Ideally the Head should follow its “foster-parent” everywhere s/he may go or alternatively placed in a location of their choise. The head contains a mobile phone, which is embedded in such a way that the camera of the phone functions as an eye of the head-sculpture.
The general public can access the Head via their mobile phones by sending an sms-message. When the Head receives the sms-message it responds by capturing an image and recording a short sound file simultaneously. This image with sound is sent back as a reply to the sms-sender and automatically uploaded to a dedicated website. During times when there are not many sms messages being received, the Head will automatically capture an image and a sound at 30min. intervals and automatically upload them to the website with date and time of the capture accompanied with the sent sms-message. The website can be thought out as the mind of the Head-sculpture with continuous accretion of memories. I think about it as a kind of a collective memory.”
