Scanner lens driven by hand

Sergey Sorokin is
a diverse artist touching all kind of medias.
His scannographys are abstract and geometrical. Far from the standards we
slowly create by being a community of artists. But that's also what makes him
interesting. He uses the scanner in a non-conventional way. Colorfull,
presenting very repetitive motives, using often printed papers as ground
material for his images, he doesn't fit completely in what we now call
scannography.
Sergey takes the scanner lens out of the scanner and rambles it on the objects
or things he want to interpretate. This approach is very new, I think, and
certainly allows a lot of new images to appear. My regret is he stayed a bit
too classic in what he showed. I suppose he will try out lots of things in the
next future (why not body parts, screens, animals…). For those who are ready to
try this technic I'm sure this will open new areas of creation. So, thank you
Sergey, for presenting us these images and a good continuation to you.

Personally I think that it is interesting to scan polygrathy...It looks like a mistake in a routine daily program and it feels so fresh!
