Have you ever heard the word NANOART? Do you know what it means? Here is what I think. NanoArt is a new art discipline related to nanosculptures created by artists, who can appear to be scientists at the same time, with the help of research tools, such as material research microscopes and digital microscopes. It seems to me that Nanoart is the reflection of a technological movement and a good and effective way of informing public of new technologies of 21st century. A high resolution microscope scans microstructures of chemical processing. Then in order to get a NanoArt picture you need to mix a realistic image with some of your abstract colors and use your imagination. And only after that you can finally print the pictures on canvas or fine art paper. And only after this, we can surely say that the earlier scientific prints turned into an artwork. So, when you hear people saying that NanoArt is photography, don’t listen. Most likely that for the 21st Century NanoArt will be what Photography was for the 20th Century! So, enjoy, don’t miss out.
