What if a brain scan looked like Abstract Painting?



I knew there must be an artist using such incredible images to make art. Angela Palmer uses her own body to realize her artworks, defying not only privacy matters but also the danger of X-Rays we all are conscious of.
This is one of those things that kick up a fuss, but not, for example, in this article here.

To realize his Self Portrait, Damien Hirst had to flew to Mexico to have his head scanned, because going through this process without any medical reason is against the law. The result is a powerful ready-made, an insight into the artist's head, and you can't help but wonder about what all those streaks of light are.
