Photocopy Mistake

space

space
A bit of experimentation-simply moving the cover of the book as the scanner records the image. Admittedly the first time I did this it was a mistake but the simple concept of recording the movement of an object with a light behind is exciting.

I could imagine something similar happening in one of the scrolling ads you get at bus stops or on the tube. Is there a way to create a light show by cutting holes into the moving section? I could imagine a tunnel in the underground with rows of these lights synchronised, possibly even reacting to the movement within the space.

This is a real nice effect,, might have a little play with this idea of distortion,
