Hidden Cam Makes Art

Hidden Cam Makes Art

Tim Knowles, a British artist living in London, has a unique perspective on art: creating devices or machines that themselves make the art. He has drawn on this theme in a recent project called simply, Spy Box. For this, he put a hidden camera into a postal box and mailed it from his studio straight to a gallery, where the results were to be displayed. The camera took a photo every 10 seconds, 6,994 in total, which he has compiled into an animated image on his website.

The Spy Box fits into the same theme as some of his other works, like placing canvases underneath tree branches with pens attached and letting the wind create the drawings, or another where he mailed a pen on a spring in a box to himself, which scribbled all over a canvas inside. Is it art? We don't know, but we like it.
