Nanoarte: infinitamente inferiori a Orfescu

What you see on the right is a work of Cris Orfescu entitled Stretching the Limits 2 . Its dimensions are 102 x 152 cm, the technique is not specified, unlike the price: 16900 €. Not bad. To learn more about Orfescu just type the name and last name on Google to find out quickly that the good Cris - Romanian by birth, American by adoption - is the founder of NanoArt , the founder, who first, in the arts, he has experimented with nanometric structures.

Now, although the works of both our Orfescu NanoArt are labeled, is not without interest to understand the differences between the two approaches, since they are not dealing with simple details.

substantial diversity, one might say, is macroscopic and is immediately evident: the work of Cris Orfescu have normal size, or, in other words, they are visible . It is the subject of the works to be nanoscale: Cris, in essence, process images obtained from scanning electron microscopes (working, for example, the colors), then print in various sizes and then exposes them.

our operations, by contrast, are not simply images, copies, scans or elaboration of the fascinating, mysterious world of the infinitely small. These are the works themselves have micrometer or nanometer-sized - Africa, current size of (Alessandro Scali and Robin Goode, 2007) measuring 300 x 280 nanometers - and therefore are invisible to the human eye.

I find it appropriate to stop here and avoid making comparisons on the subjects, themes or content of their works. Each judge may freely both our Orfescu those who are somewhere online. What is important emphasize is that our approach - which might be more appropriate to call it art invisible instead Nanoart - removes, conceals the eye of the viewer the basic element of visual art, which also focuses on the elusive NanoArt of Orfescu.
