a 5.5 foot diameter sphere covered with video monitors & surveillance cameras. each monitor displays a live video feed from a camera placed on the opposite side of the sphere. the sphere, created by Jonathan Schipper, can be rolled around in its environment. it is a surveillance device that reveals what is just beyond it. its scale & mobility defy secrecy.

This is an interesting piece of architecture, however it is completely useless and impractical.
