One of Silicon Valley’s best qualities is that it constantly provides answers to questions that no one asked.
For instance, it’s doubtful that you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to be in an awards show, from the perspective of a physical statue. But if getting intimate with LL Cool J sounds as good to you as it does to me, then you should check out the cameras GoPro installed in the bases of Grammy Awards statues for Monday night’s show.
GoPro made custom Hero cameras for six different statues that will be given out tonight. The footage will be collected during the Grammy Live Web livestream beforehand, and broadcast during the show.
The cameras will probably be swapped out before award winners return home for the night. Below, you can watch a video that shows how they assembled it. It also looks like a pretty smart way to make a hidden camera:

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
