mean body (as in standard) is an expanded performance of self portraiture. For this project I trained my body for eight months towards an idealized body shape.
I captured my body geometry with a 3 dimensional laser scanner and created a database for the art and science study of body shape. The mean body database
consists of 82 surface anthropometric data sets. mean body has been produced with special thanks to the National Research Council of Canada, Cyberware,
Freeform Fabrication Lab, University of Montreal and Carleton University Department of Industrial Design. The Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts
Council and the City of Ottawa Arts and Heritage have contributed funds to this project.
