ScanOps
Andrew Norman Wilson
2011
ScanOps is (or was) the internal department name for Google’s onsite book scanning contractors.
This new body of work is based on Google Books images in which software distortions, the scanning site, and the hands of ScanOps employees are visible.
Through varied analog versions of these images (image/sculptures, a book), I will further reassert the materiality that composes the digital, as well as the photographic support.
