Curator’s Note

847 VS1 diamonds have been set into the frame of a standard Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses unit, one stone for each billion dollars of Meta Platforms' market capitalization on the date of manufacture. The device's camera, microphone, and wireless transmission functions remain operational. The glasses are displayed on a mirrored plinth; a small red LED indicator on the right temple shows they are recording.
