BEYOND LIGHT: The X-ray Photography of Albert C. Koetsier

http://www.cmp.ucr.edu/Koetsier/default.html (exhibit info)

"Due to their high frequency, x-rays transverse practically all 
materials, thus rendering solids optically "translucent." This 
capacity has made the x-ray invaluable for understanding materials, 
determining structural defects, and, most famously, seeing into the 
human body. The radiograph's artistic use, however, has been largely 
unexplored."


==> X-RAY EYES: A MEDITATION AT THE MILLENNIUM by Sheila Pinkel

(very captivating presentation. especially 'light bulbs'.)

"The images in this site are xeroradiographs produced at the Xerox 
Medical Research Center in Pasadena from 1978-1985. The commercial 
name for this technology is mammography and is used to detect 
cancerous breast tissue. I was greatly affected by the work of Anna 
Atkins who used cyanotype during the mid-19th century to better 
understand the structure of the natural world. As I continued doing 
this work I fell in love with the beauty and complexity of the 
structures revealed and their potential to symbolize broader cultural 
meaning."

"I am a retired academic physician (Professor of Surgery at LSUMC) 
who has long had a serious interest in photography
as an art medium, though most of my images are unconventional.

In 1972 I studied with Ansel Adams at one of the last workshops the 
master himself taught. In the 1980's as part of my medical research I 
obtained a precision Xray machine, and used it to make images of the 
very small blood vessels growing into healing wounds 
(microangiography).

Some of the images looked like abstract paintings, and I started to 
explore the uses of Xray as an art medium, thinking I was one of the 
first to use such methods.

In reality I was not, as several photographers, including Man Ray and 
Albert Richards had preceded me, though I was not aware of that until 
years later. "
