I took my film photos and began to develop them using the scanner. I wanted to warp and stretch them so that they would be more reminiscent of the genre's techno influences, which often incorporates psychedelia and drug influenced imagery. I think that this distortion is a good way of marrying the two styles together and visually displays the jazz influences as well as the techno. I really like that the scanner also forces a sense of movement into the images - as this is a theme that I see cropping up in my research a lot. The idea of the makers of betty boop tracing cab calloway's erratic dancing as well as Thelonious Monk's tendency to get up and dance are things that I would like to explore further.
