DOCUMENTARY

The ART+TECHNOLOGY LAB at LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) followed us on our expedition to Yosemite Valley. Here you can grasp the vastness of the landscape and the intricacies of the technology as well as of the whole expedition.

URBAN DIORAMA

The completed work – Urban Diorama: a high fidelity 3D hologram of Yosemite Valley set inside the stripped interior of our expedition vehicle – was on display at LACMA in Spring 2017 and at Hyundai ARTLAB in Spring 2018.

ScanLAB Projects is a pioneering creative practice: half art studio, half research laboratory. It is led by artists/architects/technologists Matthew Shaw and William Trossell. Shaw and Trossell share the common passion for highly crafted making and storytelling that manifests itself in their digital and physical works.

The artists’ studio is filled with a diverse team who juggle groundbreaking tech development and creativity on a daily basis. ScanLAB’s primary medium is 3D scanning, a form of machine vision that they argue is the future of photography and spatial representation. As the electronic eyes for billions of mobile phones and driverless vehicles, 3D laser scanners are the cartographers of the future. By critically observing places and events through the eyes of these machines ScanLAB’s work hopes to glance at the future we will all inhabit.
