TINY: Art From Microscopes – UW Madison
Monday, January 18th, 2010 | Contemporary Art, Pop Culture Notions, Power & Politics | No Comments
Welcome,
There is a delicious show in the gallery at the airport (Truax Field) in Madison, WI that features photographs and rapid prototypes (3D objects “printed” layer by layer) by scientists from UW-Madison’s various research departments in collaboration with Tandem Press.
The exhibition text surveys the history of medical illustration and explains how “as early as 13,000BC, drawings of body parts aided Egyptians during the mummification process.”
The fancy colored 3d objects shown above and in the gallery below (click image to see larger) are upscale versions of such tiny molecules as DNA and RNA and also molecular motors that will some day propel themselves through our body to perform repairs and deliver drugs like chemo to affected regions.
The grey electron microscope image of a tree-looking tendril is a “trichome” on a mustard plant leaf. These structures are what make a leaf feel “fuzzy”
The crystalline image shows nanorods – a material being developed for use in solar cells.
This show is stimulating beyond the aesthetic joys these images provide because we are reminded that we live in the future. These scientist are inventing tiny robots that will repair fatal aneurysms and new materials that will allow us to harvest sunlight for energy and thus avoid wars cause by lust for the buried sunlight that is crude oil.

Health Care Propaganda: Public Option Please
Friday, October 30th, 2009 | Pop Culture Notions, Power & Politics, Tonky Graphic Design, Tonky Limited Editions | No Comments
Just wrapped up some health care advocacy propaganda for PublicOptionPlease.com. I designed these in the spirit of those great WPA posters advocating everything from worker safety to supporting the war effort.
The contest winner gets a cold $1000 and national distribution. The contest is being judged by Arianna Huffington, Margaret Cho, Aaron Rose, Jesse Dylan, Robbie Conal, Marshall Ganz, and Arlene Holt Baker
Hopefully they like the work!
I am selling an extremely limited edition of each design.
20″ by 30″ – Archival Ink Jet Prints
$50 ea. ( framed – $105 )

Every penny of profit gets donated to PublicOptionPlease.com. So feel comfortable voting with your wallets.
