NanoArt 2008-2009 open for public viewing

Los Angeles, CA | Posted on January 28th, 2009

NanoArt is a new art discipline at the art-science-technology intersections. It features nanolandscapes (molecular and atomic landscapes which are natural structures of matter at molecular and atomic scales) and nanosculptures (structures created by scientists and artists by manipulating matter at molecular and atomic scales using chemical and physical processes). These structures are visualized with powerful research tools like scanning electron microscopes and atomic force microscopes and their scientific images are captured and further processed by using different artistic techniques to convert them into artworks showcased for large audiences.

All submitted works will be exhibited until March 31, 2009 on the nanoart21.org site, founded by artist and scientist Cris Orfescu (www.crisorfescu.com and www.absolutearts.com/nanoart), together with artist's name, a short description of the artistic process, and the artist's website and e-mail. The top 10 artists will be exhibited on nanoart21.org site for one full year and will be invited to exhibit at the 3rd edition of The International Festival of NanoArt. The previous editions of the festival were held in Finland and Germany.
