An object’s color, luster, and texture are shaped by its nanoscale properties. So is how we perceive taste, smell, stickiness, transparency, and other aspects of an object’s tangibility. Utilizing instruments within MIT.nano, one can tailor the nanoscale for shaping the experience of those who engage with the artisans’ creation. Nanoscale means can also let us peer into the depths of the primal elements that construct our world, giving a glimpse into the hidden knowledge and presenting the exquisite beauty and intricacy of the nanoscale world.
.zerodotzerozerozerozerozerozerozerozeroone is an exhibition created and curated by Tobias Putrih and Ardalan SadeghiKivi from artworks that correspond with the Lisa T. Su building. These works were created during the class Creating Art, Thinking Science taught by Putrih and SadeghiKivi, with the support of the MIT.nano team, envisioning and scrutinizing ways to intertwine nanoscience and nanotechnology toolsets and visualization methods to extend the bounds of art and culture.
