Introduction.

Scanning has many implications. One of which is carrying round too much equipment to be healthy.


Hello future back problems.


(If you didn’t get my jest. I’m going to write this as a critical blog or maybe imagine me giving this as a lecture? Yes that’s good. So rather than a 3rd person essay I will attempt to go through and write this in one go, maybe a bit of editing later but yeah one go so its like a continuous dialogue. I feel that this is the true way for me to fluidly express my work.)

This semester I have focused on creating lenses to fit an A4 flat bed scanner. The Cannoscan Lide 25 A4 flatbed scanner was purchased because it would be “portable”. Under this premise I wanted to produce work outside of my bedroom and in the real world, live environments and difficult situations. I moved fairly quickly from working on the flat surface to lens based image making, which I will go into more depth throughout this The LEARNING AGREEMENT. (It comes across as a big deal. But is it? Should I be making such a fuss over nothing?)

Or maybe this post should have been called;

Dr. Stirling or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Learning Agreement.
