Scanography

"Sunglasses Twirl" by Cassy Galon. 2012.
     With the wide variety of technology and software programs at the Student Multimedia Design Center, there are plenty of opportunities to create stunning pieces of work whether it's a video, photograph or digital art. However, have you ever thought of what artwork you could create with just a scanner?
     Scanography, commonly known as scanner photography, has been around ever since 1968! It is seen by artists as a new way to see and represent the world around us. It takes no prior knowledge or training, only the motivation to press a button and exercise your imagination. Yes, the image to the right was created using the Color Scanner in the Student Multimedia Center. So what are you waiting for? Go create your own Scanography artwork!

    Cassy highlights lovely examples of images created using a scanner. The flatbed scanners next to the Center's desk can also be used to capture high-definition images and do a fine job capturing flat objects, singly or in layers. Hook 'em up to one of the Center's computers and scan away.
