TIME TRAVEL — Using a video camera, a firewire cable and a laptop, I attempted time travel on a train in Bangalore. I placed a video camera at the front of a train car, facing out the door. Live video feed was sent from the camera to the laptop, which sat in front of a second door at the back of the train car. When viewing the laptop I was able to see approximately 1/10th of a second into the “future”.

HUMAN INTERNAL MEMORY DRIVE — Auction on eBay of one image’s worth of space in my memory.

TEXT FROM AUCTION
I am selling a single image’s worth of space in my brain, where my mind will function as a memory card or hard drive. The winner of this auction will be able to provide me with images that I will store for them - just like with a digital memory card, the purchaser will be able to access the image, rewrite it with a new one, delete it, or transfer it, and will have access to this space in my brain for as long as I am alive.
— When the purchaser wishes to store an image in their memory drive, they present me with an image (either in person or over a digital chat program), allowing me to spend a minimum of one hour with it
— When the purchaser wishes to access the image, I will draw the image for them and this drawing will then be handed / posted to them, depending on their location.
