scanner art

I really dig this scanner art thing.  You have to mechanically manipulate stuff to get a digital result.  That result is not through digital process, it merely observed digitally.  Instead of things like painting or photoshopping the actions you do are not building the work.  Rather the actions you do build a situation that is then observed by the digital apparatus which creates “the art object.”  In this sense it is really a performance, but a performance that is for a single, objective, technical moment.
