Thom York underwent a scanning session to capture his performance of House of Cards. The video was created using two different scanning methods, laser and structured light. It's encouraging to see fine artists using technology instead of abhorring it. In an exciting move, Radiohead released the raw data from the session as a CSV sequence which I was able to process into a polygonal mesh to reveal what Mr. York looked like during the capture session. There is some surface warping due to the deliberate distortion of the process by shooting through a piece of glass or Lucite, but the results were interesting.
