Our new book with Christian Bernard "FABULES" 112 pages, 50 illustrations, Éditions Walden n Ready to order here Les presses du réel A "small portable zoology": a book combining 50 animal poems by Christian Bernard and 50 collages by Hippolyte Hentgen. Animal poetry, especially fabulist poetry, has long been used to draw pleasant portraits of "our friends the beasts". It was necessary to continue without prejudice the examination of this kingdom more than close to ours. This is what these Fabules are all about, teeming with revelations about fifty familiar animals, often unknown and sometimes justly unloved. The logic of their world has been too much neglected. The poems and collages in this book remedy this shortcoming. https://www.lespressesdureel.com/ouvrage.php?id=9926

PHOT202: Scanography.

After learning a little about scanner art I am starting to understand the next key steps, so now is the perfect time to get an in depth analysis of scanography. I looked online to find new techniques and the history that surrounds scanner art.

HISTORY -

The process of creating art with a scanner can be as simple as arranging objects on the scanner and capturing the resulting image; in fact, some early artists in the field worked with photocopiers to capture and print in a single step, resulting in the field of Xerox art. Artist Sonia Landy Sheridan, artist in residence at 3M and founder of the Generative Systems program at the Art Institute of Chicago was one of the first to exploit this ability in 1968, altering the variables of the photocopying process to produce artwork rather than mere copies.Though the physical process of arranging objects on a glass platen to capture a photogram is shared by both "Xerox" artists and "scanographers", regarding image quality- scanner photography has more in common with large format photography. The process records extremely fine detail with a rather shallow depth of field and produces a digital file (or "digital negative") for printmaking.

Using a computer and a photo editor between the scanning and the printing process provides the artist with a greater level of control, allowing, at a minimum, the ability to "clean" the image by removing specks and other imperfections in the capture. With the increased availability and affordability of flatbed colour scanners in the 1990s, photoartists could now purchase a scanner rather than rent this equipment and the technician necessary to operate it, as Darryl Curran did in the early 1990s. Renting studio time at Nash Editions, Curran captured "scannograms" of objects from 1993-97. Harold Feinstein's One Hundred Shell and One Hundred Flower series contained scanned images side by side with traditional large format photography.

A magnifying glass and CD-ROM discs placed at an angle to the bed show reflection, refraction, and diffraction effects that can be generated. (Above)

Capture process -

Scanners change significantly from digital camera in many areas. First, the optical resolution of a flatbed scanner can exceed 5000 pixels per inch (200 pixels per mm). Even at a relatively low resolution of 1200 pixels per inch (47 p/mm) a letter sized image would be 134 megapixels in size.

The depth of field of most scanners is very limited, usually no more than half an inch, but the built-in light source provides excellent sharpness, colour saturation, and unique shadow effects. The time it takes the scanning head to traverse the bed means that scanners can only be used to capture still objects, and common items used are flowers, leaves, and other suitable "still life" subjects.

Techniques -

The simplest use of the scanner, which also most closely matches its use for document capture, is as a specialised tool for macro photography. As long as the subject can be placed on the scanner bed, the scanner is excellent for capturing very high resolution images, within its limitations. This also has a very practical application, as it can be used to make images of items being sold on auction sites such as eBay which are too small to be easily photographed with consumer level digital cameras.

An external light source and a moving subject produce different effects in this image. (Above)

Further manipulation -

While the result of a scanner capture provides a work of digital art, just as a digital photograph does, further manipulation of the captured image is possible as well. This may be as simple as flattening the background to enhance the "floating" effect provided by the scanner to complete reworking of the image/photograph.

Jan. 2012 Scannograms

These were for a digital photography class I didn't particularly enjoy but did learn some things from. The final product of these were supposed to describe us in some way, although I admittedly did the corset one for aesthetic chiefly.
