Nano-Verses is a reminder of the interweaving of science and art in media history and
innovation. Since the primary use of nano-optical images has so far has been in the security
printing industry, we wanted to open up these technologies by asking how technical inquiry
mutates when different questions are asked: what kind of visual medium could we produce from
such nano-optical materials? How does a dialogue between fields and disciplines redraw the
trajectories of emerging technologies?
