PolyMatrix

NANOART - Original. The artist created a nanosculpture by casting a mixture of Graphite microparticles and polymer on glass. After it was peeled off, the free-standing layer was fractured in Liquid Nitrogen at 195 degrees Celsius bellow zero. The fracture surface has been visualized with a scanning electron microscope. The monochromatic scan has been painted digitally. The final image is printed on canvas with archival inks specially formulated to last for a long time. The depth and three dimensions achieved in NanoArt sets this process of electron imaging apart from Photography, where images are created by photons (particles of light) rather than by electrons (electrically charged particles). The electrons penetrate deeper in the structure creating images with more depth, more natural 3D look than the photographic images.
