Initially, I was uncertain about the scanography part of the Digital Interventions workshop because when I was introduced to this process a couple of years ago it seemed fairly childish and useless. It still seems childish, but a lot less useless. You can use a scanner to create some funny, disgusting and thought provoking images. I experimented with touching the flatbed scanner, licking and kissing it, dripping water on it, using a sheet of clear or orange acetate to keep it clean / change the colours. I also put my phone on top of the scanner to scan a photograph that I posted of myself on Instagram. When I did this, my phone case scanned in its true colour, but the image on my phone screen showed up in grayscale. I'm yet to find out why this is and hope it doesn't affect the scanner. If it does, it wasn't me.
