NANOART - BEYOND HERCULES COLUMNS







BEYOND HERCULES COLUMNS
Alessandro Scali e Robin Goode, 2006
in collaboration with Politecnico di Torino, Physics Dept.
201um x 84um (um being micrometres).
Mounted on a silicon plate 20x20mm.
4 x b/w coal prints. 60x80cm (SEM - Scanning Electron Microscope - images).

A series of human imprints lithographed onto a piece of silicon. It represents a journey of a man into an unknown world. A journey that breaches new frontiers and borders. Its a desire to be suprised by the unknown, to witness an undisclosed beauty. The voyage beyond Hercules Columns parts from our reality to an infinitely small one. An invisible reality, yet one that exists.
