Mike Golembewski : taking pictures with a scanner as a camera…

What is this ?
Is it still scannography ? Is it again photography ?
Patri Feher just pointed Mike out to me.
Very interesting results Mike obtains with his customiezd scanner ; another
vision of the world around us.
We should all like this as we like the results of our own scanner
machines.
Mike Golembewski is
pushing the limit of our favorite medium ! He is rebuilding scanners to be able
to take them outside and scan outside views or portraits… Take a look at his
site. He explains everything there (how his scanner-camera is built, how motion
is taken by his machine…) and shows a lot of incredible pictures…
Mike is giving a conference and is opening discussions about his Art, but
also the new technologies in general in the Massaschusetts College of Art
& Design. If you're not too far away, this a place to be on the 24th of
September.

How did you make the scanner camera with the Brownie?
I have old school SLRs and was blown away by your portraits.
This is what I always thought scanners could do, but didn't know how. I tried reading notes on construction, but got lost with how to attach the two. Is a Canon LIDE the only way to go?I wish I could see the very first one you made. Regardless, this is the best I've seen. Keep it up.
