Experiments

Synthetic Shoulders

As an expansion outwards from focusing on the mouth I have explored rendering other elements that form the human voice, initially I have kept this to the shoulders as taken from a Photoscan experiment to see how this may come together. This gives an interesting effect to form a more complete synthetic transformation of the human and ground the mouth in a wider context. The shoulders here from Photoscan while derived from the human actually appear to give the effect of a neck brace supporting the head, I find this further connection to prosthetics interesting. I also tried this with taking the shoulder section of the Photoscan head from Project 1, as this was produced in more controlled conditions to see if the overall effect is altered. I want to take this further to include more fully synthetic elements like the teeth, such as the creation of a windpipe from scratch in Blender. Then, as shown here with the teeth, these fully synthetic elements can be exposed as such in the material used to texture and later to create them physically. Playing on the vivid colours of plastic to communicate its man-made qualities I have textured the teeth in bright orange and applied a glossy surface to show it is a prosthetic addition.
