Smartphones are amazing field companions, and they are at their most fun and provocative when you misuse their capacities. While photogrammetry is most commonly employed to produce 3-3-d models of objects suitable to be inserted into augmented or virtual reality settings, as a field experimentation technology it is very productive for exploring realness, memory, AI, and any number of other themes. Using downloadable apps, we will use photogrammetry to create intentionally 'bad' 3-d objects, using them as tethers for ethnographic questions, musings, and flights of fancy. To prepare, please do have a suitable app installed and ready to go. That will save us workshop time!Newer Iphones have built in lidar, which can create 3-d objects. Since I am rabidly pro-Android, I can't give you more info about how it works or how to find it!I personally use Polycam, which has a free version that will be just fine for this workshop.<a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dai.polycam%26pli%3D1&amp;data=05%7C02%7C%7C019c0fcd0e214f33c8cb08dcd7dea75c%7C2e9f06b016694589878910a06934dc61%7C0%7C0%7C638622598491203264%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=u8QQ0fBj34p9YMBiR0JiIHACHZiFCl69xP2py3pbLcA%3D&amp;reserved=0" title="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dai.polycam%26pli%3D1&amp;data=05%7C02%7C%7C019c0fcd0e214f33c8cb08dcd7dea75c%7C2e9f06b016694589878910a06934dc61%7C0%7C0%7C638622598491203264%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=u8QQ0fBj34p9YMBiR0JiIHACHZiFCl69xP2py3pbLcA%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Polycam for Android</a><a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapps.apple.com%2Fus%2Fapp%2Fpolycam-3d-scanner-lidar-360%2Fid1532482376&amp;data=05%7C02%7C%7C019c0fcd0e214f33c8cb08dcd7dea75c%7C2e9f06b016694589878910a06934dc61%7C0%7C0%7C638622598491216958%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=2v5vIhw%2Fm%2Fxl%2FGfrclxAUewNwNyFtVBIaroFlvTp8KM%3D&amp;reserved=0" title="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapps.apple.com%2Fus%2Fapp%2Fpolycam-3d-scanner-lidar-360%2Fid1532482376&amp;data=05%7C02%7C%7C019c0fcd0e214f33c8cb08dcd7dea75c%7C2e9f06b016694589878910a06934dc61%7C0%7C0%7C638622598491216958%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=2v5vIhw%2Fm%2Fxl%2FGfrclxAUewNwNyFtVBIaroFlvTp8KM%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Polycam for Iphone</a>
