Sophie kahn

‘Sophie Kahn’ used high-end 3d scanners, and uses the data to create analog outputs: digital prints photography. Her background is photography, and developed the application of new imaging technologies to the body. The idea of her work is making the image as trace; the residue trailed by a body or place as it moves through time.

The precisely engineered 3d laser scanners she uses were never designed to represent the body, which is always in flux. When confronted with a moving figure, they receive conflicting spatial coordinates and generate fragmentary results: a 3d ‘motion blur’.

Her work is good way to show how scientific image and technology cooperated and represented into created their own art. Her works are shows explore the impossibility of capturing as a new media of art more than a trace of the past usually photography did. As virtual image of her work, it represented human’s body into digital space, no matter time and light. Using human body, not only observing body shape, but also use organic object as subject and expressed abstract illustration to trace not only human’s body but also other nature object as her subject.
