This is the last piece of news you would expect to read today, but it's God's honest truth. With all the hype going around the famous celebrity photo leak scandal, one artist has decided to turn all of this to his favor and set up a modern art exhibition.

The news comes via Entertainmentwise, which claims that Cory Allen Contemporary Art (CACA) has already begun preparing for a new art exhibition called “Fear Google.” As part of the exhibition, the artist XVALA plans to use life-size prints of the leaked photos of Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton, and then display them to the public.

It is said that the photos will not be altered in any way, shape or form, will be printed on canvas, and that they will be available for viewing at the CACA showroom in Saint Petersburg, Fl.

The official announcement mentions that “XVALA appropriating celebrity compromised images and the overall ‘Fear Google’ campaign has helped strengthen the ongoing debate over privacy in the digital era. The commentary behind this show is a reflection of who we are today. We all become ‘users’ in the end, we become ‘used.’”

The rest of the exhibition is going to be made up of other intimate photos of celebrities, that were collected by the artist in a seven-year period from Google, either taken by paparazzi, or simply obtained unlawfully by hackers.

Among the items to be put on display there are going to be Britney Spears' famous head-shaving incident pictures, as well as the leaked photos of Scarlett Johansson without her clothes on. Her image walking the streets of New York will be used as the exhibition's poster, since she has only the “Fear Google” logo covering her private parts.

The artist claims that the message he's trying to send is a warning, “In today's culture, everybody wants to know everything about everybody. An individual's privacy has become everyone else's business. It has become cash for cache.”

The exhibition opens on October 30. No word on how the artist plans to solve the legal issue of using the photos for the exhibit, since almost all of the people involved in the leak have denied publishing of any of the photos through their legal teams.

The FBI and Apple are still trying to find the identity of the hacker, and the celebrities involved are trying their best to ban the illicit materials from being published anywhere on the Internet. So far, most of their attempts have been successful.
