For the 6th edition of this competition, nanoart21.org founded by artist and scientist Cris Orfescu is providing 3 high resolution monochromatic electron scans of nanosculptures created by Orfescu: Nano Canyons, Molecular Puzzle, Nano Transformers (click on the links for more details about these nanosculptures). Click on the thumbnails above to download larger PDF files of the images. Participating artists who do not have other possibility to obtain electron microscopy imagery will have to alter 1, 2 or all 3 provided images in any artistic way to create original NanoArt work(s). Consider this a scientist - artist collaboration. However, the artists, scientists, and artists-scientists teams are strongly encouraged to participate with their own images as long as these visualize micro or nano structures. Please provide details about the artistic process in the entry form bellow.
The artists can participate with up to 5 images (artworks). Each image should be sent with an entry form. The entry form (click here to download the file in PDF format or here to download the file in Word format), and the image file for web presentation should be sent by e-mail to 2012@nanoart21.org. The web image file must be .jpg or .gif at a resolution of 72 dpi with the longer dimension of maximum 800 pixels.
All accepted works will be displayed on the nanoart21.org exhibition site, together with artist's name, a short description of the artistic process, and artist's website and e-mail.
The Top 10 artists' works will be shown in a multimedia presentation on the nanoart21.org home page for one full year and will be invited to exhibit at the third edition of The International Festival of NanoArt and NanoArt21 shows all over the world.
