Homework 7

1) Produce a number of 12 scans with 3 interesting materials or material groups. Let your creativity be your guide. Publish your scans on the blog through flipsnack.com or Pinterest or one image after the next. Add a title or caption if you want to.  
-worked with Alice Cho, Eun Sun Ju and Jeansoo Chang
-scanned our hands and hair
-scanned our objects such as rings, watch, pouch, etc

2) Create a blog post in which you reflect on the medium of scanning as such: think of our discussion in class, record your experiences, describe what scanning can do for an artist, how it can serve as a bridge between photography, traditional printing techniques, and digital printing. As you compare scanning to traditional printing techniques; visit the printing studio, think of a photography etc. to make additional comparisons. 

Opportunities
-different images depending on the placements and/or movements of objects while scanning
-scanning with a lid open-->dark background

Challenges
-limited space/size
-hard to stay still if we are to scan things off the surface

The artist got images of the whole faces by rolling faces on the scanner surface.
This reminds me of multiple perspectives often used by Picasso and other Cubist artists.

It's like a taking a photograph, but it is different from photography
in a way that the artist can manipulate the image during the process of rendering an image. 

• Irina Yanikova (scanner paint)
