A sample of scanner images:

Flatbed scan of a bearded man's face with eyes closed, stretched into fluid, melting streaks of skin and beard hair

Flatbed scan of a bearded man's face pressed to the glass at an angle, one wide eye staring past a flattened nose and mouth that fade into grey haze

Flatbed scan of a bearded man's face sliced into vertical strips, each repeating a fragment of closed eyes, nose and beard

Scanner

This project was part of an in-depth AI workshop hosted by Hamill Industries. During the workshop we explored the use of open source video models to generate video from existing images.

“Scanner” is an experiment combining lens-based images, in this case using a flatbed scanner, with video generation using LTXVideo via ComfyUI. The goal was to explore what the model would do with these images, and how I could stitch the results together into something as unsettling as the originals.
