Biogram Toneprint: Orchis in Hand 2.1

"Biogram Toneprint: Orchis in Hand 2.1" explores the digitizing of organic structures through invisible light frequencies. Created from a 3D scan of an orchid flower and printed as a toned cyanotype on handmade watercolor paper, this unique print captures the exquisite details of the natural world through digital eyes.

The production process of the Biogram print series employs light from two ends of the invisible light spectrum and imaging technologies from two eras in time. Each living plant is captured with contemporary LIDAR technology, utilizing infrared light to produce intricate 3D scans. The printing process is equally unique, employing the other end of the visible light spectrum, using UV light with the classic cyanotype technique. Each Biogram Toneprint is later seeped in different organic tea baths to produce an array of colors and chemical reactions. By translating 3D scans into dynamic topographic maps, the project unravels the connections between material and digital memory systems, old and new imaging technologies, while bringing the invisible into sight.
