Personal CCTV system to see around


So what is it that we’re looking at here? This chandelier is a system of self-surveillance by Royal College of Art student Hwang Kim. Why would anyone want a self-surveillance chandelier? So you can see the world from all sorts of different angles, and see how it interacts with you. Of course, who wouldn’t want that?
In fact, the cameras are recording footage to twelve individual televisions so you can really get that feeling of what people are doing as you walk away.
I can totally see this being used by some sort of documentary filmmaker. Yes, I have it! You know that guy who thinks he’s really cool, but he really isn’t? Let’s see how he likes it when he sees exactly how the world thinks of him. It certainly has more angles than the Looxcie for Android, but you really have want to document your life to hook up this thing.
