(2003-2008)

DATA is research on the “forces” of the image at different scales of perception, produced through an artist residency with  Dr. Vicki Meli at the Nanolab of McGill University’s Chemistry Department (Dr. Bruce Lennox, Chair and Director).

A relationship blossomed over the 8-month period (July 2003-Feb 2004) with both scientists, which led us to discuss issues around imaging, education, ethics, ecology, and the relationship between art and science.

We were able to work with various digital micro and nano imaging technologies, the SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), the AFM (Atomic Force Microscope) and the STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscope), view physical samples and subsequently record them as 2D files, 3D mappings of surfaces and live video output.

Funding from The Daniel Langlois Foundation for art, science and technology.
