ITP Alum Michelle Hessel was profiled by Spar3D for her work with 3D scanning:
Michelle Hessel was first introduced to 3D scanning when she was working towards a master’s degree at the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) at New York University (NYU). Hessel was not going to school to learn how to use to the technology for its typical purpose, however. The focus of her work is exploring how technology can be used to create art.
Hessel is a Brazillian-born artist living in New York City, who started experimenting with photogrammetry and 3D scanning about three to four years ago. From within the ITP degree program, she experimented with all sorts of technologies in art and design.
ITP is a two-year graduate program whose mission is to “explore the imaginative use of communications technologies,” and has the nickname of the “Center for the Recently Possible.” Hessel has created several art projects using 3D scanning tools, point clouds, and a mix of various digital media to showcase its potential for expression rather than only work.
