The new 'photocopying your arse'

I wasn't planning on using this blog to plagiarise other people, but I've just come across one of the most amazing phenomena on Neil Perkins' Blog and I want to share it:

Face Your Pockets is the name, sticking your face in the middle of a scanner, surrounded by the contents of your pockets, is the game.

Having just returned from seeing the Glasgow School of Art Degree Show over the weekend, which featured all manner of delights to open the eyes of anyone rooted in the mainstream as I am, the concept of such a simple but artistically effective form of popular and accessible art seems brilliant.

I'm going to make sure to set up my printer/scanner at home that's been sitting there in the box since Christmas and have a go at 'facing my own pockets', which sounds like an excellent euphamism for 'having a long hard look at yourself'.

Watch this space.
