My master's diploma project elevates the technological artifacts of 3D scanning the human body to an aesthetic level. The central element is a three-part publication series in which I present the artifacts generated during manipulated digitalization, ranging from recognizable figures to disintegrated structures. Since the books focus on different layers, a completely unique visual experience is created in each. This is paired with a 3D animation visualizing the buildup of the models' three layers (structure, surface, and texture), alongside a series of digital prints that reveals the technical construction of the scans from raw data.

The aim of my research is to question idealized digital surfaces and to explore the aesthetic value and psychological implications inherent in technological errors. I argue that technological inaccuracies, glitches, and defects are not problems to be eliminated, but rather integrated phenomena that reveal the artificial nature of the medium. The disintegration of forms and the distortion of surfaces function as a visual language that carries artistic value and operates as a metaphor, expressing the inner alienation, anxiety, and identity crisis of the post-digital human. Drawing on philosophical and psychological literature, I examine to what extent the reality we perceive—both in physical and digital environments—can be considered authentic. In addition, I analyze the “uncanny valley” effect in realistic human representations, the reduction of the human body into data, and the impact of the “false self” maintained on social media on mental health. The conclusion suggests that the intentional corruption and fragmentation of form within digital space can be understood as a form of artistic catharsis, dismantling the pressure of constant self-optimization and the illusion of the idealized self, while creating space for the vulnerable reality of human imperfection.
