他被處死的原因是在1981年殺害了一名75歲的老人Edward Hale，只因他被發(fā)現(xiàn)偷了一臺微波爐。

Visible Human Project? 可視人類計劃

The Visible Human Project is an effort to create a detailed data set of cross-sectional photographs of the human body, in order to facilitate anatomy visualization applications.
可視人類計劃致力于對人類的身體建立詳細的橫截面數(shù)據(jù)，以方便解剖學(xué)的可視化研究。

Jernigan's cadaver was encased and frozen in a gelatin and water mixture in order to stabilize the specimen for cutting. The specimen was then cut in the axial plane at 1 millimeter intervals.
尸體被包覆并冷凍于明膠與水的混合物中。定型之后以一毫米的間距制成切片標(biāo)本。

Each of the resulting 1,871 slices were photographed in both analog and digital.
所有的1871塊切片都是用模擬與數(shù)字的方式拍下來。

The animation was played fullscreen on a computer, which was moved around by an assistant while being photographed in a dark environment.
這些照片的拍攝方法：在黑暗中，使用電腦全屏依次播放整套1871 幅男性人體切片照片，然后由助理持電腦移動。

The resulting images are long-exposure "light paintings" of the entire cadaver. Variations in the movement of the computer during each exposure created differences in the shape of the body throughout the series.
通過在黑暗環(huán)境下進行長時間曝光拍攝，他們得到了整個尸體的光影涂鴉。于是在靜靜的夜空下，移動的電腦制造出了鬼影緩緩飄過的靈異效果。
