The focus in Scan is on the enactment of knowledge, as it unfolds as a process, through the imaging of anatomy. Scan contains an encoded body of information in the graphic form of a QR (quick response) code. The code links to, and activates, an online animation that comprises MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans of the artist's brain. Sellars' brain has been encoded and decoded, and made visible through multiple acts of mediation.

In Scan the brain is not only dematerialised, but also mobilised, taking it from the physical space of the gallery to the virtual space of the Internet. When a gallery visitor scans the QR code on their mobile phone, it hyperlinks them to a URL site that hosts the auto-play animation. This enables viewers to leave the exhibition with effectively a little brain playing in the palm of their hand.

The MRI scans in the animation show the artist's brain after the surgical removal of a tumour that was situated centrally in the brain on the pineal gland.
