ScanOps
2012 - ongoing
ScanOps is based on Google Books accidents in which software distortions, the scanning site, and the hands of the ScanOps employees who digitize the books for Google are visible. Through reframing these images of obscured text as photographs with an accidental depth, the technologies and processes used are emphasized.
