I thought science couldn't get cooler or even more thought provoking but it does!!!! Using a system of cameras to capture a 3D image of a model so they can harden polymers via UV light to create the very small sculpture. Which the artist ponders does the structure exist if no one can see it.
“The absolute fact is this: the human eye is unable to see these sculptures. In your hand all you see is a small mirror with [the sculpture is on the mirror ]… with nothing on it. The only way to perceive these works is on the screen of powerful scanning electron microscope. Can you be sure of its existence if your basic senses are telling you that nothing is there?”
