Cool project recently launched by Canadian visual artist Isabelle Devos:
"In airports around the world, security personnel are now asking many travellers to take a photo to prove their camera is not a bomb… Devos is collecting these photographs for an international art project. While there have been many changes in our sense of security, this one may be the only one that is being documented; a record being produced by travellers on their journey.
Devos wants to know what people choose to take a photo of under these circumstances. With only seconds to consider, is it the security personnel, a friend, their luggage, the floor or something else that they choose to take a snapshot of? From these collected photos she'll develop an art piece that will address the cultural and social patterns within the images, giving a record of one seemingly insignificant detail in our ever changing world."
