As a continuation of the makings of a cyborg choir, I began the rendering process of creating the 3D mouths using Photoscan. This initially proved slightly difficult to gauge how well the software would translate the human mouth into that of a digital copy, at times it saw nothing and others had sections missing or repeated. When it did work the results highlighted how the translation process can produce very different results from the same source, I used my face and took the photos in the same place each time but the final 3D renders each have their own variations and mistakes.

In order to continue the notion of the cyborg I would like to either print the models using metallic filament to communicate the meeting of man and machine bridged using digital tools. Or the models could be printed in white or clear and then airbrushed with metallic paint, this would bring elements of the human back in and perhaps provide a link with the human voice that will eventually be fed through them. If I we’re to choose paint as an option, then this could potentially be decided using digital tools in the creation of either gradients or patterns. The gradient is a digital re-creation of colour and light/shadows in the natural world.
