Nano Sculptures By Jonty Hurwitz

Jonty Hurwitz says:
“We live in an era where the impossible has finally come to pass. In our own little way we have become demi-gods of creation. It’s so interesting when you bring in scientists — and I’ve had this happen in all the projects I’ve worked on –when you bring scientists into the art world, you get so inspired and so excited. The structure is created using a ground-breaking new 3D printing technology and a technique called Multiphoton Lithography. Ultimately these works are created using the physical phenomenon of two photon absorption. Art, literally created with Quantum Physics.
If you illuminate a light-sensitive polymer with ultra violet wavelengths, it solidifies wherever it was irradiated in a kind of crude lump. Some of you may have experienced a polymer like this first hand at the dentist when your filling is glued in with a UV light.
