Scan Sweep Swipe Wipe investigates the possibilities of volumetric imagery; imagery that can literally be seen 'in the air' in three physical dimensions. The goal of the work is not generating a realistic three-dimensionality that represents reality as we know it, but finding a method to create imagery that can be described as dynamic sculpting with video.

The heart of the machine is a projection surface that spins around its center. From above a projector shines on the diagonally positioned screen. Visitors are scanned with three video cameras that are mounted at the middle of the installation. The projection surface starts spinning once a visitor is detected and with the visitor's body movement contributing to the dynamics of the imagery, the result has an unusual spatial presence and intriguing plasticity.
