“You press the button, we do the rest” - Exploring the material basis of digital photography by reverse engineering the image sensor of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II camera
Jaro Habiger
Digital cameras are black-boxes during use: "you press the button, we do the rest". In this media archaeology project, I open this black box by disassembling an off-the-shelf DSLR camera as a case-study. I extract the image sensor, reverse engineer its interface, and build a new camera-apparatus around it. This lays technical groundwork for artists, hobbyists and researchers building custom digital imagers for greater control over photographic image formation.
