Biogram Blueprints is a work that explores the digitization of organic structures through the invisible spectrum of light. At its core, the production process uses measurement techniques from the two ends just outside the visible spectrum of light to illuminate the connection between the visible and the invisible. The accompanying light installation Zero Point Field, inspired by diffraction and quantum subatomic field fluctuations, expands on the relationship between the virtual and the actual by further breaking down the visible spectrum of light. It presents the same spatial information of the 3D scanned plants in a dynamic moving projection that fluctuates them in an interchangeable and diffracted field of particle noise.

The 3D capturing involves infrared depth laser scanning technology to calculate data points of spatial information about the physical dimensions of four living plants. These dimensional portraits are photographed with a virtual camera from multiple perspectives and layered to compose digital negatives. The printing process explores the other end of the invisible light spectrum (ultraviolet light) through one of the oldest methods of photographic printing – cyanotype. As a contemporary ode to Anna Atkins, the project connects the most contemporary imagining technology with the first photographic method, in this way linking the ends of the light spectrum as we see it with the ends of historical time as we know it. All prints are partially developed so that sections of each image remain sensitive to UV light and thus slowly change in response to the precipitation and light in their environment. By flattening the 3D scans into dynamic topographic maps, the project deciphers a dimensional translation of material and digital memory systems.
