Art and science have always been connected – from alchemist experiments producing art materials to Renaissance explorations of anatomy – and artists still draw on scientific technology as inspiration and in process. This exhibition aims to reverse the traditional roles by presenting the science as the art by looking beyond what is accessible to the unaided human eye. The images in this exhibition are taken at scales varying from satellite imagery at the upper end to electron micrographs of objects only a few nanometers in size, and include biological structures, geological features, and the materials produced by prehistoric and historic technologies. 

This exhibition is mounted with financial assistance from the National Science Foundation/University of Arizona Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship Program in archaeological science.
