Capture
A document scanner records unstable digital images displayed on an iPad rather than a fixed paper original.

Scanned Memories
Light, movement and machine time translated into physical prints.
A scanner-generated photographic series exploring how images—and the memories attached to them—are preserved, transformed and cared for within constantly updating digital systems.
A home document scanner becomes both slit camera and brush of light. Dragged across an iPad mirroring a computer-based digital sculpture process, it compresses screen time, hand movement, software processing and print output into a single image. The resulting bands are visible traces of attention and technological mediation.

Process and approach
Visual score
Image bands are guided by a machine-learning score derived from digitised study notes and ECG traces.
Material translation
Screen light, hand movement and processing delay become physical prints and tangible records.
