“I am at the same time:” Final Images
These are the final prints I’ll be installing at the Design+Technology2009 symposium (May 2nd and 3rd, 65 Fifth Ave, 2nd floor!). The teeth are already done, and the last two are being printed on Monday. I’ve got frames being made for them. The whole shebang will be ready on Thursday, just in the nick of time (I hope).
Ohmagah!
I’m turning into a giddy child!! I’m so excited! Let it be known that thesis is NOT giving me eye twitch anymore and instead is making me dance in the dead of night! It’s true!
Okay, so thesis or not, I’m really excited about Spoonflower, a company that allows folks like me to upload a pattern and have it printed on fabric on demand. It’s $18 per yard, the results seem pretty snazzy according to their flickr pool, and you can get a sample of the fabric for $5. Rad. Before you know it, I will have curtains printed with my hair. Creepy and amazing.
Oh, and I made some more patterns:
I’m so overwhelmingly happy making these patterns. I don’t know why. I must make more…
More!

This is true of the scans too!

Some things to consider next:
Magic Eye: now in skin?
Photoshopping new images into the veins, spots, creases, pores, shadows, etc. of the scans.
Layers.
And some really beautifully insightful thoughts from Hsiang Ju:
Skin is a biggest organ and sensor of human. It is also an interface between people’s inside and outside worlds.
Like doors, I think skin has a lot of collective memory embedded and lots of potential to be both an object and a subject.
I also think it is a visual touch to see a human so close.
Thanks Hsiang!
Speaking of portraits made of weird objects,
crap!
Someone already did what I want to do, but they were smarter about it and got kids playing video games.
The video is really cool actually, which only makes me more annoyed.

I’ve been using Processing to take photographs of myself once every minute or so with the built-in camera on my laptop. Results speak for themselves:
