Dr. Björn Dämpfling grew up in Northern Germany, he lives and works since 1969 in Berlin/Germany. In 1983/4 and 1987-91 he lived in the USA. He was spending 2/3 of his time on science, and 1/3 on art. For the last 10 years, art is his main profession. He exhibits worldwide, like London, New York, and Beijing. Identifiable but unpredictable, even for himself, every new image has to prove the core value of creativity for him: freedom of creation, newness, and being recognizable at the same time, based on complexity and quality of composition. "In creating NanoArt I am always quite happy being provided with images to work with, because finding myself the best fitting image for my purpose or just taking material as an inspiration for something in need of a commentary to find its nano roots, wouldn't do it for me. It is like a non-physical material to be used like a physical one, like wood for a wood-cut, which develops into a piece of art, not by hiding its given structures, but by enhancing, twisting, coloring and using dozens of plates. That's what I do, most of the 'ab-using' filters, layering dozens of times and painting digitally into the images. The titles for my NanoArt works are taken from the works of H.P. Lovecraft."

"I am a professional artist and my husband, Phil Flaitz, is an electron microscopist working for IBM, East Fishkill, NY. One evening he showed me some of his images. I was awed by what I saw and began to paint them using a combination of mixed media. Since I was originally a ceramic artist I use a great deal of texture to express and interpret his micrographs. Some of the materials that I use to achieve these effects include: ground glass, pumice mediums, dyed glue, polymer resin, oxidized metallic paints, and various acrylic mediums. The title comes from my husband’s screen name. The work is a reflection of my own marriage where art and technology unite. I have been thrilled to find out about the Nanoart movement and I am very interested in participating in anyway possible. I would love to see more exhibitions of this type of work and would be willing to participate to help this come about."

Nanoscience is starting to turn into nanotechnology, and development of a variety of anticipated applications are now beginning to be realized. Somewhere between solids and molecules is the domain of nanoparticles where properties are expected to differ from those of the solid state and from those of typical molecules. In fact, nanoscale materials with at least one dimension smaller than 100 nm exhibit remarkable properties that are often not observed for their bulk counterparts. The origin of the dramatic modifications to physical and chemical properties at nanoscale dimensions is an area of demanding interest. However, Nanoscience is old as the world. In fact, nanomaterials are synthetized in a rather large number of animals and bacteria, and they have been used for more than 2000 years as dyes in painting because their colors differ with their sizes and shapes.

"Humanity is composed of creative explorers and symbol makers. We have been this way since the beginnings of our existence as a race and before. This is the cornerstone of what it is to be a thinking human being. My goal has always been to create works that contain the essences of good poetry. A balance of opposites, in a style that is recognizable, yet not necessarily realistic. I find the most effective way of doing this is by using a pseudo primitive style which on the surface seems simple, but in reality resonates deeper emotions." Derr’s works have won numerous awards and have been exhibited internationally. His works have been included in; Gallery and Studio Magazine, Photoshop User, and Digital Fine Arts Magazine. He was recently commissioned by the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra to created a painted violin for their annual Art String Initiative.

David Hylton is a Southern-California based digital artist and his work has been exhibited in numerous international, national and regional exhibitions. His work has been featured in such exhibitions as the Siggraph Traveling Art Show (Ecole du Louvre, Salon d¢ Automne, and the Cite des Sciences et de l¢Industrie in Paris, France and the Cleveland Museum of Art, USA). In addition, his artwork has been included in The History of Computer Graphics and Digital Art Project. Hylton is an Associate Professor at California Polytechnic State University, Pomona. "I find nanotechnology fascinating as it is on the verge of completely reshaping our world with the strides being made in science and medicine. It also offers artists new insights on an aspect of nature that would otherwise be left unseen. Indispensable are the tools (electron microscope) which allow us to see the smallest facets of our world and thus provide the artist the ability to envision and create new worlds."

"I am a scientist in cellular biology domain. I have come to digital art after many years of working with the microscope in my lab. I was always fascinated by the spectacular microworld and, using the image processing software for my micrographs. I was astonished by the countless possibilities offered by digital technology to turn the photos into artistic images. And I started to draw… The microscopic images are fascinating and very challenging both for a scientist and an artist. I think every microscopist who has some artistic talent should try to speculate the beauty of the micrographs or donate some nice images which are not scientifically useful but could be spectacular by casual errors."

Eva Karatairi graduated from the Chemistry Department of the University of Athens. She then completed her master in the Architecture Department of the Technical University of Athens. Since her childhood her big love was nanotechnology and this is why her phd thesis she is working on at Demokritos Institute is on that. When she remembered the journeys she used to do as a child with Alice in the wonderland, she started using the magic potion that makes you very small to travel in the nanoworld more comfortably. She loves collecting umbrellas that fly and magic carpets that speak - to have company in her journeys - although she lately prefers to travel with yellow balloons.

“I have always loved art, art is my life, I have a Diploma and a Degree in Fine Arts. I live and work in Bugnara, a little village in the Abruzzi Mountains, in Italy. Here I find the peace and concentration for my work. The main great artist that has influenced me and the way of looking at art in general is Fabio Mauri, who was also my teacher and best friend. Unfortunately I lost him last year. I have had exhibitions in England, my second homeland, in Italy, Belgium, Turkey, Argentina, and USA.”

Dr. Frances Geesin is Reader in Textiles & Materials at The London College of Fashion, University of the Arts. She is currently working with scientists exploring Nanotechnology, exhibiting and interpreting their electron microscopic images, contributing through her practice to demystifying nanoscience. "Nano images when revealed by today’s technology are poetic, awesome, enticing and inspiring. These visuals derived from science I find inspirational and a challenge to our creativity. Artists/practitioners and scientists share a desire to question, are curious and have a need to experiment. These structures and their inherent patterns are revealed only with an electron microscope, showing a depth and layering not possible with standard photography. This has enabled my new work and thinking to develop, which wouldn’t be possible without exposure to this science. A new world is revealed of complexities, layers of mystery which scientists identify and I attempt to make visible through my personal interaction and practice. During the last six years I have been fascinated by developments in the Nano world and, with assistance from scientists, am capturing and interpreting images from electron microscopes to create 2D and 3D work which in turn helps make visible their discoveries to a broader public. The desire to further reveal the seemingly invisible has led me to study and interpret some of the discoveries in the field of nanomedicine, or molecular medicine. I think artistic interpretations of these discoveries is a positive alternative method of communicating to young people the wonders of science."

Born in Leeuwarden, The Netherlands. He started at eight years with playing the recorder and later the oboe. Since 1992 he works as an independent artist-composer-teacher and initiated Music Design for art research and production of new media. His work consists of interactive performances (Mobile Gaming and RFID - Leaving Traces, Concerto Grosso - Expo 2000, Tapestry Biennial - Unwrapped), social communication experiences (WEB real world exchanges - Interchange Me), development of proprietary hard and software, Digital artworks and NanoArt. He won prices with “Interactive Woods” and “Disturbing Utopia” (Paper Art 7 Biennial). "As an Artist I'm always looking into the interaction between People, Technology and our Nature. I feel obliged to integrate them and accumulate surprise, thoughts and creative thinking in the reflection of the observer who can also be the actuator during the exposure of the work. The task of the artist has always been to comment or reflect on the social technological progress of his time. I like to give the audience a direction in sound, images or actions to the inner self and thus create the feeling of letting me interchange you. Because new development plays an important role in the development of my projects, I try to work together with as many different companies as needed, to challenge their knowledge meanwhile creating the needed hard and software. So it becomes a reality for me and makes the unseen seeable in a touchable level for each and everyone."

"Creativity has been and continues to be a saving grace in my life. Through my creativity I understand things that cannot be explained by a word, a look, a touch, or a taste. There are so many things that happen in this life that pass us by and we never even know they were there. Painting lets me slow down enough to have a glimpse of these things. I explore depths of my soul that I was not aware existed. Some are beautiful. Some are heartbreaking. But coming to understand them is a blessing. It has brought peace and perception at times when I thought there was none. We all have a part in us that yearns. My yearning is to be whole, to be fulfilled. I want to be like a glass that is not half full, nor half empty, but that has plenty to share. I want to have enough to quench my own thirst and the thirst of others. Whether I will ever feel completely whole remains to be seen. You are the people who are seeing. An artist, to me, is someone who allows others to see the process and progress of his, or her own life. He, or she, lays spiritually and emotionally naked on a canvas and rises past the fear that while some find it attractive, others may find it repulsive. Honesty is allowing yourself to be seen, hiding nothing . So I lay myself out in my work, naked, in front of you, hoping to connect, or intersect with your life, desiring that you will find peace, and a new perspective for yourself."

Jean Constant was born in Paris in 1949. His mother's family originated in the Black See Greek colony of Simsikov (a village now called Demirköy), later moved to Constantinople before emigrating to France at the end of World War I. Jean Constant has now been living in Los Alamos, New Mexico, for the last 7 years. This highly scientific environment has provided him with a fertile ground for his new personal artistic research. He also continue to participate in many aspect of the promotion of the visual arts as Public Art consultant, chair of the local Art in Public Places Board and producer of several TV series on art, film, and culture. Jean has also done consulting work for the Forum for Science and Arts as exhibition coordinator, the New Mexico Sculptors’ Guild as executive director and is now teaching Visual Communication and Digital Media Technology at the Northern New Mexico College. Jean strongly believe that the duty of professional artists is not only to acknowledge the esthetic of the past but use our collective inheritance to help integrate art further into contemporary society and develop a new artistic language for future generations. "Large or small - we are bound to find in all systems similarities that will surprise us, amuse us, enchant us - and just waiting for us to bring them to life. Thank you for this opportunity to look into the nano-universe for a short moment."

"I am an American native & tribal member of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma in the United States. At 17 I joined the US Army and became a crewchief on a Huey helicopter and did my stint just north of Fairbanks. I came back to Houston and sometime in the late 1970's discovered my artistic talents and then in 1980 I started college to become a commercial pilot and began my Private Pilot training. I now live in Portland, Oregon. I became interested in freehand pencil drawings, some human sculpture pieces, woodcarving and a few other mediums. In the early 1980's I discovered computers and computer art. I was hooked, but the only way to draw at that time was through programming, so I became a self-taught programmer. Starting with a program called Turtle Graphics I eventually graduated to using hyperbolic functions, calculus and chaos theory to direct my computer's pen. Today I use all open source software for my artistic pleasures, such as Gimp and UltraFractal. I am now a business partner in a cash register company and do my artwork for pleasures sake."

"I am a PhD student in the School of Pharmacy, (Nottingham University, UK) developing nanoarrays to be addressed by super-resolutions techniques. The production of modified nanoparticles incorporating photoswitchable dyes and polymeric films are place together to create new nanosensors. I view most of my samples using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) techniques, my second eyes to explore the nanoworld. My interest in designing and generating new nanodevices is my goal at the moment. Besides of my passion for Nanotechnology, Art has always played a huge role in my life; even before knowing what science was. As a kid I always remember to take some paper and pencils with me to draw wherever I can. I keep drawing and painting from time to time in black ink and oil, and I also participate with others collaborators in a local fanzine back home. When I discovered science I was quite divided in which path to follow in my future. I choose Science due to my high curiosity in understanding things, but always kept Art near by…"

Linda Alterwitz is a Las Vegas based multi-media artist. Having earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Colorado at Boulder and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Denver, Alterwitz spent 25 years working primarily in oils and acrylics, painting and drawing on large canvases to create nonrepresentational paintings. Alterwitz began exploring photography in 2006. With a vision that is painterly in nature, she digitally manipulates and layers together images to create large-scale, photographs. Alterwitz’s philosophy addresses the constant challenge to keep a balance between the two sides of the brain: the logical and the creative. This duality is apparent throughout the body of her work, starting with her photographic equipment. Alterwitz uses both digital cameras and toy cameras. The high-tech digital cameras produce clear, factual images that are believable and acceptable in our right-brained world. In contrast, images shot on film by the low-tech, simple workings of plastic cameras capture a spontaneous, altered world. Alterwitz’s inspiration, the inner workings of the human body and her external surrounding environment, plays with the dance of the two sides of the brain as well as the contradiction of fear and reassurance. Past personal struggles with medical issues were tempered by fond, childhood memories of playing in the sand dunes and forests of Gary, Indiana where Alterwitz grew up. It is this dichotomy that gives her work a comforting sense of familiarity while simultaneously creating tension.

Lisa Black received a degree from the University of Michigan in Art History and French and received a Diploma from the Sorbonne in French Civilization. It was while she was in France that she saw her first Picasso Exhibition. From that time on she wanted to be a painter herself. Fortunately she has been able to do that for many years experimenting in many media, exploring digital images, printmaking, watercolors, acrylics and more....winning many awards along the way. Her purpose is to create art that is colorful, strong, expressionistic and individualistic. She was delighted to receive an invitation from Cris Orfescu to join the world of NanoArt. She took part in the exhibitions in Kotka, Finland and Stuttgart, Germany.
"This is the fourth time I have entered the NanoArt Competition. I’m happy it continues to flourish. It is a challenge to keep creating new images. I find working with the computer and Cris Orfescu’s seed images very enjoyable. My work is posted on Facebook so people will become acquainted with NanoArt and will perhaps follow the Competition. It is exciting."

Pilar was born in the Dominican Republic (1943). She is resident of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. She has a Doctorate in Sciences (Physics) from UNAM (1979) and also studied Art at the UABC Art School and House of Culture in Ensenada (2001-2008). Oil painting and Digital Art are her favorite media of expression. The relationships between human beings and their environment –physical, economical, social and/or political –and fractals are her most exciting themes. Her works have been exhibited in MEXICO, France, Germany, Denmark, U.S.A. and online in Nanoart 2007 and NanoArt 2008. She considers a challenge to develop NanoArt works. This is a new area, very broad. In the future, she thinks that some divisions have to be created. It is difficult to compare the different types of artworks that one can produce with the nanoimages. She explores some of these options. In two artworks, the relationship between the artist and the Nanoworld is illustrated. In one of them, the Nanoworld is considered external, the artist is just an observer. In the other, the artist is a part of the Nanoworld. In the other 3 artworks, the she is trying to find analogies between the Macroworld and the Nanoworld.

"Born in Italy, I have been involved in the arts all my life. Moved to the States in 1952, taught at the San Diego Community Colleges all the arts and crafts and when I retired I was introduced to the computer. When I discovered the potential of the digital tool I decided that I did not want to do an oil painting, a watercolor of even a wood cut. I wanted to take advantage of what the computer had to offer. Fascinated by filters, and then fractal programs, I started making compositions using the non objective images given to me by fractals fragments and a new world opened up for me. I am completely taken by fractals now, and I compare my compositions to music. It is not what it looks like, but what it makes you feel when you look at it!
NanoArt competition is a very stimulating procedure and learning experience that can be applied to any work.”

Robert Fairfax's current computer artwork starts out as mathematical formulas that create fractal designs. Many of the formulas come to him in dreams and are later entered into the computer and run (iterated) using various programs that render this type of math into images. Designs that show promise are combined in Photoshop and manipulated using an electronic drawing tablet to interface with the images on the screen.

Teresa’s way to the artistic cognition was a complex process, guided by her passion of gaining knowledge and understanding the world. This has resulted from one hand in her PhD in Nature Science received from the Düsseldorf University, from the other hand in growing love for art. She mainly paints with acrylics, where quick decision making is needed, but also enjoy watercolors. Her art teachers were Manuel Aguilar (oil), Iva Mrazkova (watercolors) and Ivana Cekovic (history of art). Teresa’s artworks mostly start with discovering or rediscovering nature. If it is to use a brush or a painting knife, acrylic or watercolor, it is always the subject that defines styles and techniques of her work. Every time she paints, her goal is to stimulate the emotion of the viewer. The process of creating pictures is endlessly fascinating to her. Every person who enjoys her work is a reword to her efforts.
She was awarded the 1st Place in the NanoArt 2007 Online International Competition.

"When I showed Julia the scan I explained to her that the image was taken with a very powerful microscope to show her the shapes in a very tiny unseen world can be as beautiful as the shapes she sees everyday in nature. Since she loves butterflies, she chose to paint this scan. Julia has been painting and expressing her creativity since she was 3 years old and prefers painting her own pictures. She has a natural art talent and a strong ability to stay focused on a project for hours with total enjoyment." (Judith Light Feather). Julia is in kindergarden.
