It is a bearer of cultural sediment — tactile, grounded, and enduring. In contrast, we now move within a world increasingly mediated by screens, where materiality is flattened and precision is outsourced to machines. What becomes of physical objects—like stone—when their presence is translated into pixels and point clouds? What is lost, transformed, or reimagined in this digital transference?
This project responds to this shift. Using stone as a symbolic and literal object, I explore the intersection between physical and digital perception. Through 3D scanning technologies (Artec Spider), laser cutting, and mobile phone photography, I investigate how machines reconstruct the tangible world — not through touch or intuition, but through data, measurement, and simulation. The resulting book is an interactive study of one object viewed from two epistemologies: the human and the mechanic.
