BACKSCATTER – interactive visuals, music, performance by Wetcircuit (Holly Daggers). Premiered at ReVISION by Forward Motion Theater January 14th, 2011 Backscatter technology is used by the TSA — a division of Homeland Security — to perform random full-body scans of airline passengers. The scanners create “ionizing radiation”, X-rays powerful enough to strip molecules in the body of their electrons. Charged particles launch from the skin back into the scanner, producing a ghostly nude image that is literally created from body matter. Fourth Amendment rights are forfeit when passengers consent to the search.

    To raymond9339: You’re welcome, it is a great video and I wish I could claim credit for it, but it’s not mine.

    There is another video showing how to remove backscatter using PSE 8 or 9. Search for kE1rAs1f9YQ here on youtube.

    I’m only going to add, that if you do slightly blur the edge detail of an image you can change your history state to “new”, and shrink the brush size… than paint back the detail.
