Risa sent me an interesting article from the New York Times about artist-turned-doctor Satra Stuelke. Stuelke CT scans ordinary objects like toys and gadgets and reveals a hidden world beneath the sleek, brushed aluminum surface. It's slightly off-topic but worth sharing, so whatever.
You can follow this link for the full article, here's an excerpt:
"When an object is scanned, the machine produces 200 to 500 image slices. Mr. Stuelke loads this data into a computer program that allows him to assign different colors to areas of different density. Mr. Stuelke’s results include a Barbie with flaming orange hair and articulated white leg bones; a skeletal iPhone with a dizzying array of connections that resemble a fantastical, tricked-out city; and a translucent wind-up bunny whose internal mechanisms are disturbingly reminiscent of a bomb."
who knew barbies had bones?
Really very interesting...
ReplyDeleteI have known that barbie had bones for YEARS. I used to do "autopsies" on them. The best part of it was slicing open the rubbery legs down to the bones... yes I was a messed up child.
