SLOW SELFIE is a series of works. Slow Selfie IV is the last of it. They articulate an environmentally controlled,slow growing self-portrait using the artist’s own body in the form of Magnetic Resonance Image data. Similar to analog photography, using a chemical conversion,reducing silver halides into silver metal, the essential chemical conversion in photography, the work utilises the chemical process of experimental crystal condensation into the 3D printed data-set as the emergence of the second layer of crystalline skin and gestalt.

The process is environmentally reactive to temperatureand minute fluctuation on the surface of the submerged3D printed substrate. This emerging of a crystalline mask, amalgamated into the porous surface of the 3D printed skeletal medical data set is accompanied by a continuous loop of 3D projection mapping and recording, questioning the ability of recognition and interpretation as well as stimulating and inhibiting the crystalline growth. Slow Selfie comments on the perpetual cyclical emergence of human vanity in feed-back looped sedimentation of Aluminium Sulphate Crystals and projection mapping.
