"Chris Orfescu to Exhibit at Mission Valley Library"
2009-02-28 until 2009-04-04
San Diego Science Festival
San Diego, CA, USA United States of America

Cris Orfescu has been invited to exhibit NanoArt at the San Diego Science Festival (SDSF), planned as one of the largest multicultural, multigenerational, multidisciplinary celebrations of science ever seen on the West Coast. The festival will be hosted by different venues across the city, with more than 500 activities in the month of March. From the science of earthquakes to the physics of skateboarding, the San Diego Science Festival promises to make science accessible, interactive and fun, highlighting the impact of science and innovation on our lives. Cris Orfescu has been a Premiere Portfolio Artist at absolutearts.com since 2004.

Orfescu's show is hosted by the Mission Valley Library and is sponsored by NanoTecNexus, a non-profit organization specialized in the field of nanotechnology and its impact on industry, academia and society.

NanoArt is a new art discipline at the art-science-technology intersections. It features nanolandscapes (molecular and atomic landscapes which are natural structures of matter at molecular and atomic scales) and nanosculptures (structures created by scientists and artists by manipulating matter at molecular and atomic scales using chemical and physical processes). These structures are visualized with powerful research tools like scanning electron microscopes and atomic force microscopes and their scientific images are captured and further processed by using different artistic techniques to convert them into artworks showcased for large audiences.
