"My Body Scan, #1", 1 March 2000.
my body & my scanner

this is one of several times i scanned myself. i only scanned my entire body in scanner-sized sections, twice. this is the first full-body scan i did. the actual scans are life-sized at 100dpi, 8.5" x 11.7" (the size of the scanner glass).

i took off the cover of my scanner, put the scanner on the floor and laid across the scanner, being careful to try to match up which "piece" of my body i had left off at, so they would fit together in the end. i arranged the pieces in photoshop for the layout shown here. i also printed out each section on photo paper (although that was a little smaller than life-size because the paper was smaller than the scanner glass), and then i arranged the print outs to make the whole body. with it laying on the floor, it looked like i was floating up through water under a glass floor. really weird. it was fun to do, but it took several hours to complete the scans & it was pretty tiring.

i'll be putting some of the "pieces" up in my Scraps section at full-size. check 'em out!
