I love group art projects that reach across the internet for contributors. ScanYourSkin is now the second one that I have participated in. This project invites people to scan or photograph their skin, crop out a 500 by 300 pixel square, and e-mail the result. The aim is to create a diverse database of skin types. Below is my contribution—my fair complected, hairy, freckled right forearm. While examining my arm, I even noticed a scar that I never knew I had (very hard to see; lower right corner). Cool.
