“In 1993, a convicted murderer was executed. His body was given to science, segmented, and photographed for medical research. In 2011, we used photography to put it back together.” via Photographs - 12:31
This is such an incredible project. It reminded me of what Robin Sloan calls the flip flop, the process of taking something physical and making it digital then using that digital version to make something physical again. 
Sloan had a great post explaining this concept here: Dance the flip flop.

When the ticker tape machine made its New York City stock-trading debut in 1867, the world saw the most cutting-edge communication system to date. Ticker tape was the earliest digital electronic communications medium — and for the first time, trading was done in near real-time.
Fast-forward to 2006 and the launch of Twitter. In a way, equally phenomenal yet with a vast difference. As technology slowly draws us away from hard copies — books, albums, letters — Twitter is a system with no paper trail and little opportunity to create one. Until now.
