The new text, images and video are up at Compressionism.net<\/a>. I think the most exciting bit is probably the new video, with some great footage of "action Jackson" and my Compression methods and images – thanks to Franci Cronje, Nicole Ridgway, Lara Rivera and Colleen Alborough. "action" is the new custom-made and fully portable appendage for 360-degree Compressionist scans, and there’s a great stop-frame of him from all angles. <\/p>\n

Compressionism<\/a> is a digital performance and analog archive. In the current studies, I compress bodies, spaces and objects by traversing their surfaces with an image scanner, along varying 3-dimensional paths – literally, I glide, run, hover and swoop across windows, trees, or lilies while the scanner head is in motion. The resulting digital images, which are transfigured down to the size of a small piece of paper, are then re-stretched to their original size, sometimes cropped or colorized. The final prints ask us to ‘look again’ at the relations between subjects, objects, actions and perceptions.<\/p>\n

 related: thanks to Daniel Hirschmann<\/a> for pointing me to this Boing Boing post<\/a> about Mike Golembewski’s scanner photography<\/a> (currently down from linkage overload; mirrored at http:\/\/www.findacomputerguy.com\/scannerphotography.com\/index.html). Basically, he’s turned his scanner into a (very) large format pinhole camera – beautiful stuff!<\/small>
