Blackbox

Blackbox collects data of what’s happening around it. It measures the distance to the box, the light cast on it and it listens to audio. The box contains a small drawing machine which draws on light sensitive paper using a led diode. Everything is recorded on the photographic paper unbeknownst to the people which are present in the room and surrounding the blackbox. The recordings become visible only when the process is stopped, the box is opened and the photo is developed.
