Scanner Cameras

Here is a cool idea for creating your own digital camera! Rather than buying those fancy store bought cameras you can in fact use a flatbed Scanner to make a camera. One of the best features (or strangest things about) these types of cameras is that motion is captured as a form of distortion rather than as a blur (as in a traditional camera). This makes for some quite weird and freaky images as well as providing an opportunity for some fun with motion. The process of constructing your own scanner camera is also relatively easy so get out the cardboard and rip apart that funky new digital camera for the lens, add in a cheap scanner and you're set.
