Untitled is a 2007 ink by Richard Dupont, depicting glove, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a long, wavy sheet of paper covered in fine, swirling lines that look like a body stretched and pulled. The lines aren’t a drawing of a person—they’re made from a 3D scan of the artist’s own body, printed backward. The wobbles come from tiny errors in the scan, almost like a glitch. It’s quiet, but it makes you wonder: is this a portrait or just data? If you like how technology changes art, look up the technique etching, drypoint, aquatint.
