# Shocking Photography Projects 'Prosthetic Photographer' ForcesPictures Using AI and Electricity By Joey Haar | Published 2018-02-13 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prosthetic-photographer References: [fastcodesign](https://www.fastcodesign.com/90160005/this-insane-camera-forces-you-to-take-perfect-photos-by-shocking-you?partner=feedburner&utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feedburner+fastcodesign&utm_content=feedburner) & [peterbuczkowski](http://peterbuczkowski.com/projects/prosthetic-photographer) Many would argue that photography is a subjective and fundamentally human endeavor, but 'Prosthetic Photography' is an art project that aims to discount that premise. The project uses an [artificially intelligent algorithm](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/generated-photos1) and electric shocks to force photographers into taking [beautiful pictures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonnas-cam). Phosthetic Photographer itself consists of little more than a grip and attachment for a digital camera. Though it looks unimposing, the device packs a powerful punch. Prosthetic Photographer has built-in artificial intelligence that constant assesses the viewfinder of the attached digital camera to look for the most attractive photographs. When it does see something it likes, it uses a node on the handle to send an electric shock through the photographer's hand, forcing them to involuntarily pull the trigger and take a picture. This is the first sign of the robot apocalypse, but at least it's artistic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **AI-driven Photography:** Prosthetic Photographer project demonstrates AI's ability to enhance photography and suggests further AI integration in the field. - **Haptic Feedback Technology:** The project's use of electric shocks for haptic feedback presents opportunities for innovation in the development of new photo-taking tools. - **Cyborg Art Projects:** Prosthetic Photographer project represents a growing interest of artists in the integration of technology and human bodies to create art. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** Photography industry can explore AI and haptic feedback integration in camera devices to enhance photo-taking capabilities and expand market offerings. - **Art:** Art industry can adopt technology integration to expand artistic boundaries and offer new forms of creative expression, such as cyborg art projects. - **Technology:** Technology industry can develop new tools and applications for AI-driven photography and haptic feedback technology for broader market use beyond the art industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic AI Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-camera-concept.md) - [AI-Powered Poetry Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poetry-camera.md) - [AI-Powered Portrait Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-powered-portrait-studio.md) - [AI Photography Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gency-pb.md) - [AI-Generated Selfies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreambooth.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [AI Baby Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newborn-photography1.md) - [AI-Generated Lensless Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paragraphica.md) - [Synthetic AI Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/generated-photos1.md)
