PIXEL SECTIONS

These images are 10x10 pixel sections taken from each scanned image.  My interest is from this whether people will be able to match the segments to their full image.

Incidentally they have made a very aesthetically pleasing series of images.

If you look at the name of each one that will give away which object it is from.

SCANNED IMAGES

These are some of the initial images that were scanned 2 weeks ago.  The aim then was to look at scanning as a process, to see if the technological boundaries could be pushed to a limit, or whether a novel function could be made out of the machinery.

The intentions then progressed to become more visual, looking at the relationship digital has to analog in the way that digital goes against it but strives to be like it.

LEMO

and this is the lemon highly pixelated.  it is zoomed in well beyond the point of recognisability, which is something to think of doing for each artifact

MORE IMAGES

These are more images of just plain scans, with an open background.  They are the foundation from which the project will stem but i would like the final result to be related back to these.

NEW PROPOSAL

After experimentation and deliberation this is the new proposal I have for project 1.

ideas

This is from a series of working ideas.  The concept is involving how the 3 dimensional linear world is transformed into a 2D plane, using digital media.  Some of the results, like this one, were very interesting.  I'm not sure you could tell that the object is a whiskey glass from the close-up and the stark black background in the scans gives it a very spatial atmosphere.  The scanner doesn't take a projection of the world like a photograph, it adds a sort of gradient and distorts anything which is away from the flat plane.  From here I'll be experimenting with some more rounded objects and maybe adding some movement as well.
