Study in organic synthesis
Study in organic synthesis is a series in which three dimensional objects from nature are scanned through the processes of photogrammetry. Multiple exposures are taken of an object from different angles and then input into software that compares the pixel information in the photos. The software then attempts to align the images by guessing the angle the photographs were taken from generating a point cloud of positional information that represents the volume of the object. This 3d positional information is then used to reconstruct a geometric figure in 3d digital space that accurately represents the surface elevation of the subject.
Of course as in nature computers don't always get everything right leading to imperfections - holes in data become holes in the geometric reconstruction which must be filled or synthesised to form a whole shape.
How does this synthesis from the real world affect our experience as humans and our perception of nature and reality? Will there always be holes or will we one day create a seamless synthesis of reality in a digital space. Are the inherent digital imperfections something that conversely make a computer generated image "more organic"?
