Art in the time of cholera

Nuacco — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 01:58:38 +0000

Pretty drawings of some bugs? Is this your first thought? They certainly are pretty, but looking closer, one might notice that in reality these insects are deformed, which was the result of the radiation.

Cornelia Hesse-Honegger, scientific illustrator from Switzerland, makes illustrations of morphologically disturbed insects, which she finds near the nuclear areas of the infamous places like Chernobyl, nuclear power plants in Switzerland, radiation-contaminated areas in Europe and the US.

Cornelia sketches how perfect symmetrical lines of bug surface are slightly changed, deformed by dangerous exposure.

Beautiful but scary.

Know your germs

Do you know how germs look? Also so that you do not feel revolted when you see them. Luke Jerram makes glass sculptures, which represent our bacteria and viruses we are scared of.

These transparent glass sculptures were created to contemplate the global impact of each disease and to consider how the artificial colouring of scientific imagery affects our understanding of phenomena. Jerram is exploring the tension between the artworks’ beauty and what they represent, their impact on humanity.

To the author’s mind, microbiologists and scientists make us believe that viruses and bacteria are bright colored, however in reality it is not always so.

The sculptures were designed in consultation with virologists from the University of Bristol using a combination of different scientific photographs and models. They were made in collaboration with glassblowers Kim George, Brian Jones and Norman Veitch.

Object-oriented photography

Nuacco — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 16:14:10 +0000

These very strange pictures are the work of an artist from London, Petros Chrisostomou. His photographs are a practice that has enabled the artist to extrapolate ready-made objects from different environments, producing very unusual combinations.

Petros himself claims that his work is concerned with object and context relationships, and the result is pretty neat. Check it out!
