One of the results of a collaboration with a dancer. Once the motion-aspect of scanning photography clicked with her, it was a blast playing around for a few hours. This is a quick scan, left to right in about 20 seconds.
Could elaborate a bit on the scanner-becoming-camera thing? I've never heard of that before.
Absolutely cool picture!
For sure!
I opened up an old Canon flatbed scanner and more or less removed anything that wasn’t the sensor or the mechanical assembly pulling it along. The optical assembly is hacked together with black foam board, an acrylic magnifying glass and too much gaffers tape.
Think of it as a pinhole shoebox camera with a scanner at the back, instead of photo paper or film.
Thank you! I like the engineering feel it all.
