Joe Nalven: The Fruit that the Snake gave to Eve in Eden-nanoart

NanoArt is a complex artistic-scientific process that comprises three major components:

1. creation of the nanosculpture (sculpture at atomic and molecular levels, by manipulating atoms and molecules using chemical reactions and physical processes) or discovery of the nanolandscape (natural nanostructures, mostly biological);

2. visualization of the nanostructure (which is facilitated by the use of advanced microscopes) and image capture;

3. artistic interpretation of the scientific images using different artistic techniques in order to convert these images in pieces of artwork to be showcased for large audiences and to educate the public with creative images that are appealing and acceptable.
