The Teeth

As an extension to the previous experiment exploring the mouth, taking the external space and using Photoscan as an intervention device to take the human to a cyborg hybrid or organism (human) and machine (3D object), I decided to focus on the internal space of the mouth, teeth etc. This time however, instead of translating the human to object I began by creating the human mouth in a machinic space. I created a 3D model of the gums and teeth using Blender, sculpting the internal cavity to resemble that of ‘reality’.

This model was then added to the Photoscan cyborgic external mouth, creating an additivism of organism and machine that replicates biology without skin. The result feels quite uncomfortable, especially when the texture of the human is applied and the default grey of the teeth are in stark contrast.
