Cameras make 800-pound steel sphere 'invisible'

invisible_sphere.jpg

215 Points of View is an attempt at creating an "invisible" sphere, an 800-pound ball of steel equipped with 215 monitors and 215 cameras. Each monitor displays what a camera directly on the other side of the sphere is showing, allowing an observer to look "through" the ball. An art project by Jonathan Schipper, the 5½-foot-diameter ball can be rolled around its environment to dramatic effect. While the sphere doesn't really make itself invisible, it's a pretty great concept and a way cool-looking installation, so I guess we'll let the misleading name slide. Be sure to check the video out on the artist's website to see the sphere in action.
