World Cup: Scanner Art Creates Unique Tournament Images

Slit-scanning, an alternative photographic technique, uses a narrow slit inside an analogue camera to record time's passage. This laborious process produces distorted results that celebrate the "rolling shutter" problem that has vexed photographers for generations.
