The Penuhaus 'Compound Camera' is an artistic work that provides a surreal take on photography that will enable users to experience the world around them in a different way. Featuring 109 [pinhole cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/telepresence-observation-pavilion) on the exterior shell, the tent allows visitors to experience the imagery that the cameras are capturing in an immersive manner that is unique anything before. The tent was created for the Pawtucket Art Festival and merges the aesthetics of today with the technology of yesteryear given the pinhole camera dates back many hundreds of years.

The Penuhaus 'Compound Camera' is the design work of [Levi Bedall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levi-strauss), August Lehrecke, Matthew Muller and Zachary Weindel, and identifies how low-tech solutions can sometimes offer the most immersive results.
