prostheticknowledge: Inventory Project from Oddviz is a collection of images composed of various 3D scanned objects arranged in visually satisfying compositions: Our ongoing series ‘Inventory’ is a cultural project where we dig the ephemeral characteristics of the public space and street furniture. Photogrammetry enables us to collect objects in detail and it is possible to create compositions using these objects as units. We started shooting in our own neighborhood (Kadıköy, Istanbul) practicing on methodology & process of capturing objects in wide range, complexity, size and number. As we traveled for other occasions we’ve always captured in order to expand our inventory: We shot on the streets of Manhattan for a week capturing 400 unique street objects such as fire hydrants, utility poles, booths and statues. We shot 150 ancient wells-fountains in Venice and 200 facades-sidewalks in Kreuzberg-Berlin Public space collects culture constantly as the surfaces are painted with tags, graffiti and covered with stickers. Conditions change with weather, impacts and maintenance. Interferences create uniqueness, but unlike cultural objects under protection in museums or galleries, street furniture is under constant danger of renovation or replacement. Using photogrammetry, we are documenting and protecting street culture in 3-dimensions with high-resolution texture. During the creation of our first composition of Istanbul street objects, we let the coincidences lead the way. A random arrangement was appropriate referencing the chaotic soul of the city. During the composition of Manhattan inventory, we rather used an arrangement similar to grid based city plan with an emphasis on vertical growth of the city. Venice inventory installed around the Grand Canal and Berlin seeks the german precision. We are working on other stills and videos as well as online-VR presentations.
