Artists try to see beyond the obvious, to look into the deeper aspects of everyday objects. It was only a matter of time, then, until someone decided to use a CT scan to reveal the inner life of commonplace items from the iPod to the Barbie doll and from a toaster to the Big Mac.
The artist in this case is Satre Stuelke, who's also a medical student in New York. A wider selection of his CT scans (and QuickTime movies giving a 360-degree view) can be seen at the Web site for his Radiology Art project. This slideshow focuses on some of the technological and mechanical objects of "unique cultural importance in modern society" for which Stuelke aims to provide "deeper visualization."
Seen here is a DeLonghi toaster. Writes Stuelke slyly: "Despite scrutiny under this high resolution CT scan, we were unable to pinpoint the cause of toast only getting crisp on one side of the bread."
