joana with one n [has a thesis blog]

I’m currently in the process of making a list of things to do with these scans, as Adam has recommended. That will appear here in the next couple of days.

In the meantime, I’ve scanned some more bits.

Knuckle close-up.

I like that it looks like light is being emitted from my knuckles. Super knuckles.

This is actually more interesting on its side. It becomes more about texture and less about form.

Tongue (see below).

Trying to stay absolutely still is remarkably difficult, especially while lying on the floor with your face pressed against a scanner. Try it sometime.

I got my midterm evaluations, and they’re fairly interesting. I think Marko is totally on point, but I’m now reevaluating what I want out of this thesis. I thought I was going to build a booth, an interface for others to take photographs of themselves, but now I’m thinking that’s not quite right. Sven suggested I scrap all the tech stuff I’m so hung up on and just do a photo project. I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me sooner, after all, people make films and animations for their thesis, so why not a photo show?
Well, now I’m back at square one. I have a lot of work to do.

Today I started out with something simple. I scanned my head:

Scanner photography by Mike Golembewski.

Cars driving by a bus shelter in London.

Neat, huh?
