It's a superb object with a perfect layout and wonderful images.
Finally the book has passed frontiers. And it's worth having it in hand. Werner
did a great job trying to explain what scannography is and how to practice it.
Well the book is in german but it's worth having it in hand because it shows on
paper what we all knew: the quality of the images.
The publisher added a few artists (jeff Mihalyo, Patri Feher, Jaime Ruas,
Hercilia Lopes and more) at the end of the book to give a larger view and
opening to the world of Scan-Art. For those interested
you can order the book here. It's really worth the price. And it needs
support.

The first book about scannography
By Chris on Friday 16 September 2011, 12:16 - informations
Nardelli Verlag publishes the first book completely devoted to the technic
of scannography. And to the Art of Werner Abel.
You discovered Werner's work two months ago on scannography.org.
You can now discover it in this book. It's in german but the images are
universal !
Really, this book ist not to flip, but to swing open - like a scanner or laptop. Read this book and you never will see the nature as before. You will explore the nature in a completely new way. Enjoy it! While walking with his dog through the nature, the author, the German artist, Werner Abel, reflected on itself by collecting all what he found in fauna and flora: flowers, blossoms, leaves, grains, fruits, vegetables. Arrived at home, he scanned the found pieces with a customary flatbed-scanner.
The results have been very surprisingly and fascinating. Abel was deeply impressed. He suddenly could see details which he never have seen before and which the human eye commonly does not register. Depth of focus, quasi 3-D, from the middle to the edge. No Digicam can do this…
Reading this book, regarding the wonderful subjects captured by the scanner
you can explore the beauty of the nature in a wondersome matter. Enjoy totally
new insights into the nature, look inside the flowers, leaves and things.
Explore details as close-up which you just have let uncared heretofore. This
book facilitates a new way of looking closely. Hints to arrange your found
pieces on the scanner included. Extra-Service: Scanartists from all over the
world are presenting their most beautiful, impressive and stunning subjects.
What a book – surprisingly, precious, different.
You can go on the Nardelli website to learn more.

a way.
Werner Abel,

flatbed scanner. He is presently publishing the first german book about
scannography at Nardelli publishing.
Luis Castelo, for august, is a spanish artist who teaches photography at the Fine Arts University in Madrid. His images are like nothing comparable, between scientific views and graphic design.
Please leave comments about these two interesting guys…

Jens Standke's scann-sculpture
By Chris on Friday 8 October 2010, 19:00 - informations
Jens
Standke came to our site last year, working with lights and
movements.
He gave me some news. This is not "scannography" as we define it anymore but
it stays in connection with scanners so I thought I give you the info as I find
he today's work really interesting.
Jens worked with a scanner to capture his own movemet that he then
transformed in sculpture : "The experience is: By moving our body we are taking
more space and another time as normally ascribed.". So movement and scanner
stay in his body of work and it's good to see a concrete result of this
thinking and working.

Playing with light : Jens Standke
By Chris on Wednesday 4 February 2009, 20:49 - artists
A german scannographer joined our community…
Jens Standke is experimenting lots
of different ways of creating images. One of those ways is scannography. But,
as for all his other artistic researches, he doesn't go the common path. As he
explains "I examine the relationship of time, movement, reflections and visual
perception. "
His scannogaphies are essentially a play of movement and light and the result
is some strange forms, like ghosts that suddenly become very real and
consistant. With a usual camera capturing light effects is something that is
completely blurred. With the scanner, on the opposite, you have sharpness on
each moment the light is captured. So these are unusual images and, the more,
really appealing to the eyes.
Movement, light, reflection is the basis of this serie, but Jens also did some
portraits that you can discover on his page on "scannography.org"
