Nanoart21 is the latest in a stream of exhibitions where we create art from science. Nanoart 21 is an online exhibition from artists and scientists displaying their creative side. Electron and atomic force microscopes create some visually stunning images, some made more so by the hand of the artist.
My favourites
There is a lot of intriguing art, but much of it seems to be doctored microscopy images. That is, artists jumping onto photoshop to add colour, contrast or morph images into something different. One image even put faces onto nano-lumps that resemble heads
Maybe, it is the science geek in me, but I enjoy the essentially undoctored images. Maybe it is because I find reality is just as intriguing and worthy of being called art as anything humans can create. For example this one caught my eye
Eitherway, it is worth a look
