Satre Stuelke‘s work has received a lot of media attention over the past month, and justifiably so. He was a professor at the School of Visual Arts until a few years ago when he enrolled in medical school at Weill Cornell Medical College. Using a CT scanner usually used for taking x-rays of inside the human body, he began experimenting with food, toys, and electronic gadgets and adding colors to these images on his iMac.
Check out a slideshow and story from the Science section of The New York Times here.
And just in case you’ve never been a fan of ER, Chicago Hope, Scrubs, Grey’s Anatomy, or House M.D. and need a visual of what a (somewhat horrifying) CT scanner looks like, click here.
Wow, consider me a new fan. I love the colours, they’re strangely mesmerizing and all in all, I think his work is kind of funny? Hah?
If that is the work you bought, by the way, than I am very, very jealous!
It is, thanks! The good news is that all his pieces are in fairly large editions in the smaller size range…so I got an 11 x 14 c-print in an edition of 50 that was really well priced.
I love that you say it’s funny…I think so, too. But a lot of people who see it tell me it’s really spooky to them!
Thanks for visiting:)

Cool, thanks– I’ll definitely check it out!
