Testing vertical displacement as a way to show time across 11 days of 3D scans

Recent work. It contains 11 daily scans of a bundle of decaying peonies. I am still trying to understand how to combine time and space in ways that you can perceive subtle changes.

close up of 8K render...really happy with these and cant wait to share them soon...

10 of 12 done. Project nearly complete, but also going to try animating some, or playing with them in another way.

Chris Coleman @digitalcoleman.art · 31/10/2023

thinking a lot about what a series means in the current nft space. I am handcrafting these under a set of very specific rules, requiring hours of digital labor. The differences are subtle in some ways, but in the generative conversation space this seems okay?

7 slightly different 3d renderings of slices of landscapes.

From the Louve, an egyptian figurine made of wood. the reflections on the glass vitrine were so intense I was sure this would not come out...I was wrong.

Chris Coleman @digitalcoleman.art · 04/07/2023

The Ecstasy of St Theresa...one of those works that is less epic in scale than you expect, but perhaps more special by being in a quiet out of the way place and near human in scale. Still from 3D photogram

Chris Coleman @digitalcoleman.art · 03/07/2023

The other Pope in the room. Photogram from Rome visit... (happy to capture some of the embroidered cloth details...)

Chris Coleman @digitalcoleman.art · 14/06/2023

A few days in Rome capturing for later photogrammetry. Was thinking about cultural appropriation and if I as a White man of unknown ancestry should feel about using these sculptures and architectures.
