2D Digital Stitching Experiment

Following on the other idea of 'stitching' the models together, I took inspiration from Fraser Muggeridge's lecture. After looking at Fraser's website and read about the World's Largest Enlarged Letter. The steps that are set in place are to only used a photo copier to enlarge a chosen letter form and increasing it by a certain percentage. I took an image of a model and edited before enlarging it with the photocopier. After enlarging the image several times, I took some of the copies and pieces them together, making it look like the model but having some part more zoomed in then others to highlight the interesting sections. I did this both with digital and physical images, moving then onto taking digital images and piecing them together. Maybe because it is a neater collage with the images touching, it had a mixture of a large model and pieces of the model.

I also tried the same style of digitally putting together the images with photos of the model, increasing the contrast to show the texture of the mod roc be clearer, trying it a few times with different images. Looking at them, the texture and the distressed parts of the mod roc is also clearer. They remind me of archeology images, (Figure 18) also personally looks interesting but also kind of disturbing, perhaps because it reminds of close ups of the human body, maybe bones. The high contrast image and also the shape of the pieces together image in Figure 14 really captures my attention. The different texture makes me want to look closer, drawing me in.
