FREE Entries - Open to All Artists and Scientists - Seed Images of 3
Nanosculptures are Provided for Further Artistic Creation
Submission deadline January 15, 2010
The worldwide competition NanoArt 2009 is open to all artists 18 years
and older. The online exhibition will open for public on January 20,
2010.
Jurors: Dr. Pilar Irala (PhD, History of Art), world renowned
photographer, expert on contemporary art, photography, and new
technologies, and member of the International Association of Art
Critics; apart from her activity as international photographer, Art
critic and curator, she is currently Professor of Photography and
Contemporary Art at San Jorge University (Spain) and co-director of
the contemporary photography and music ensemble animAMusicae;
Guillermo Muñoz, physicist and PhD candidate in Photonics, works in
the field of Nanotechnology at Material Science Institute of Valencia
University (Spain); he is part of the 'Piratas de la Ciencia' science
communication group and is working as moderator for the international
Art and Science network Yasmin; recently, he curated the NanoArt
exhibition 'Nanoconfluencias: miradas artísticas hacia lo
infinitamente pequeño'.
For the 4th edition of this competition,
nanoart21.org founded by
artist and scientist Cris Orfescu (
www.crisorfescu.com and
www.absolutearts.com/nanoart) will provide 3 high resolution
monochromatic electron scans of nanosculptures created by him. The
participating artists will have to alter the provided image(s) in any
artistic way to finish the artistic-scientific process and create
NanoArt work(s). The artists and scientists are strongly encouraged to
participate with their own images as long as these visualize micro or
nanostructures.
The artists can participate with up to 5 images (artworks). All
submitted works will be exhibited on the
nanoart21.org site until
March 31, 2010, together with artist's name, a short description of
the artistic process, and artist's web site and e-mail. The top 10
artists will be exhibited on
nanoart21.org site for one full year and
will be invited to exhibit at the 3rd edition of The International
Festival of NanoArt. The previous editions of the festival were held
in Finland and Germany
NanoArt is a new art discipline at the art-science-technology
intersections. It features nanolandscapes (molecular and atomic
landscapes which are natural structures of matter at molecular and
atomic scales) and nanosculptures (structures created by scientists
and artists by manipulating matter at molecular and atomic scales
using chemical and physical processes). These structures are
visualized with powerful research tools like scanning electron
microscopes and atomic force microscopes and their scientific images
are captured and further processed by using different artistic
techniques to convert them into artworks showcased for large
audiences. To read more about NanoArt and Nanotechnology please visit
