An interesting site
where you can send a scannography of your face and everything you have in your
pockets.
The idea of Pierre Jarlan for a common exhibition still exists on the web !
Almost 240 people have participate. It's a real great idea because you can read
social, sexual, geographical differences on all these scanns. Thangs to Angely
Pamela Chi who gave me this address, it's a nice one.
Here also the technical recommandations. I wish some of you will participate,
it's fun and it's a successfull site. This can only be helpfull for
scannography in general.

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.

Elena Kropaneva : our first russian scannographer
By Chris on Wednesday 30 July 2008, 21:10 - artists
Elena Kropaneva lives in Russia, Ekaterinburg and studies for Masters at
Ural State Academy of Architecture and Arts. She creates superb scannographies,
with dreamy, soft and feelingfull elements.
Elena was one of the first persons I took contact with, in april 2008, to start the site, she hadn't time then to prepare things, but her place was reserved and here she is. I'm glad to have one more person playing with portraits and giving a very faery side to them,. In a sense just the opposite of Liz Atkin. This confirms that this medium is able to transpose and express much different feelings depending on who plays with the technic.
Please go to the main site to see more of her works and also to her Flick'r page…
