Mercurium | the nanocosmos series
Nanocosmos, which combines scientific images from the smallest and largest scales in the universe — nanotechnology and astronomy — is the newest extension to the Nanotechno Project: ”Nanographs” developed with layers of images and structures from nanoscience and nanotechnology, the emerging crossdisciplinary field of building materials, devices and innovations at the quantum scale of atoms and molecules.

New piece in the nanocosmos series entitled Cassinno. This “nanograph” combines a scientific image of a cluster of carbon nanotubes engineered to operate as a field-effect transistor (FET) with a high resolution image of Saturn taken by the Cassini spacecraft.

Two new pieces for the nanocosmos collection (an extension of my Nanotechno Project), which combines scientific images from the smallest and largest scales — nanotechnology and astronomy — in highly manipulated “nanographs.” These two iterations on a piece called Quantum Venus, bring together molecular imagery of a “quantum dot” nanocrycrystal with a high-resolution — though highly processed, image of the planet Venus.
In honor of IBM’s breakthrough in imaging a single molecules electric charge I’ve created a new work in my nanocosmos series.
This extension of the Nanotechno Project blends scientific imagery from the smallest and the largest scales in the universe — nanotechnology to astronomy. For this piece, entitled SingleSpitz, I combined elements of the single molecule charge distribution with a “stellar fountain of crystal rain” imaged by the Spitzer Space Telescope.
All the scientific source images have been highly morphed, interpolated, filtered and manipulated to create a kind of cosmic-atomic impressionism. You can see more of the Nanotechno project here: http://www.nanotechno.biz
Envisioning how artwork from the Nanotechno Series — http://www.nanotechno.biz — could become art or design elements (interior or exterior) in high-tech buildings, musuems and public spaces. In memory of all those lost on 9/11
