Description

This portrait was created with a 3D laser scanner. The scanner was never designed to capture the human body in motion--when confronted with a moving form, the machine receives conflicting spatial coordinates and generates incomplete images. Even if a model just breathes, or shifts slightly in space, the misaligned layers of the scan create a kind of multiple exposure. When I first scanned my face, I was struck by the eeriness of the image. My eyes were closed to protect them from the laser beam, and all color and movement was stripped away. It felt akin to seeing a digital death mask. All my subsequent works have explored the ways in which technology fails to capture life - although we amass vast digital archives to preserve our memories, they are not perfect copies, but partial, fragmentary future relics.
