NanoArt 2007 INTERNATIONAL ONLINE COMPETITION
2nd Edition

ART - SCIENCE - TECHNOLOGY Interactions

Submission deadline December 31, 2007.

Open to All Artists and Scientists � 3 Electron Microscope Scans are provided as Seed Images for you to choose and to create the NanoArt Works

The worldwide competition NanoArt 2007 is open to all artists 18 years and older. Online voting will open January 1, 2008 through March 31, 2008. Judging is via the Internet and decided by our site visitors. Winners will be notified and published online around April 15, 2008.

NanoArt is a new art form where micro or nanosculptures created by artists or scientists through chemical or/and physical processes are visualized with powerful research tools like Scanning Electron Microscopes. The monochromatic electron microscope scans are processed further using different artistic techniques to create pieces of art that can be showcased for the general public. To read more about NanoArt and Nanotechnology please visit www.nanoart21.org

Nanoart21.org founded by artists/scientist Cris Orfescu (www.crisorfescu.com or www.absolutearts.com/nanoart) will provide 3 high resolution monochromatic electron scans as seed images for artists to choose from, in case the artists can’t get at this time their own images of nanostructures. The participating artists will have to alter these images in any artistic way to finish the artistic-scientific process and create a NanoArt work. You can process these images digitally (preferably not to use them as a background for other images) or project/print them on canvas and paint on top or create large scale sculptures to ressemble the nanostructures, etc. The artists or/and scientists are encouraged to participate with their own images as long as they visualize micro or nanostructures using advanced microscopes like Scanning Electron Microscope, Atomic Force Microscope, Scanning Tunneling Microscope, etc. Please do not send optical microscope images (microphotography).
