PALIMPSEST 3 : PRINTER ROLLERS / 2006

printer rollers, hacked flatbed scanner
(work in progress)

This version of the Palimpsest series aims to solve the main problem with the first (folks with bad eyesight couldn't make out the content). My goal is to hack a flatbed scanner to read the surface of found printer-rollers. I'm close, but the process has turned out to be more complicated then I'd anticipated. I'll upload pictures of the rig soon - for now please enjoy these somewhat cliche (but beautiful) test results.
