Our new artist from London is a young lady who will surprise
you…
Animating her scanns and playing with her painted portraits, that's what Lil
Ashton is dealing with.
And the results are surprising. Not only are this portraits intriguing but they also move you as they move themselves. These are like cries from outside world or inner feelings. In the same time there is a lot of humor and fun in those images.
The best way to understand what I mean is to check on her page…

For this month I want to present you Lucy Peltier. She is playing with very simple yet attractive compositions with marbles and leaves. I hope you like the quality of her images and the abstract movements she introduces…

Jaime Ruas sent us new images created in his unique and fantastic
technic.
Take a look at his
page to see his Art is such a personal one and it has some magic in it. His
personal universe grows with his practice of scanner painting, his mixes of
types, colors, forms produces a very graphical result.
Personnaly, I'm a big fan.

Diane Kaye made me discover this nice, well rythmed and funny clip. Melting all kind of scannographic images. You can watch it here Created by Damon Stea of Mindfruit Studios made Memoirs of a Scanner with Cassandra Chowdhury and Zack DeZon.“The shoot probably took around six hours of pure, unadulterated face-to-the-scanner animating, followed by pickup shots of all the papers and transitions,” Stea said. “Editing was pretty quick as well — it was a remarkably simple process to actually complete.”
I hope they will produce others…

The community continues to grow after a calm summer where I didn't
do anything on the site !!
Stephanie
Sierou-Aarten is a student in Art from Holland. She discovered the magic of
scannography seven years ago, and this technic became a passion for her. This
discovering reminds something to me, as it must for a lot amongst us.
Take a look at her beautiful creations. She seems fascinated by colors, lights and movements. Her works are close to Jens Standke's images. She plays with glass objects that she moves on the scanner while scanning. The result is amazing as it seems to represent some outerspace creatures or images from another dimansion. Which is, in a certain way, the case, as she distorts time and space with her method !

A young french girl, student in Visual Arts and History of Art in Angers is
using a scanner to create images and projects of her own. Elisabeth produces
two types of scannographies. You can now see her images on our main site,
but also on this page.
The first are portraits in black and white where she tries to put emotions and
to capture a kind of innerworld of the subject… The lights, contrasts and
composition are superb in these images and she succeeds by transmitting
emotions and characteres of the persons she scanns…
The second type of scannographies are abstracts. Elisabeth paints abstract
color compositions, then scanns them while moving them on the scanner
screen-plate. She obtains images with lots of movements and waves. She uses
them in projections while a dancer follows his inspiration guided by these
scannnographic movements… A very interesting experiment.
I hope you will like this new artist. Don't hesitate to give her some feedback by commenting these images.

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"

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.
