Art Installations
We live in a world where both big and small numbers are commonly cited to explain challenging concepts, and understanding the scale of everyday objects is important to making informed decisions. Whether it be the selection of an appropriate filter to remove virus particles from a classroom or the decision to leave a coastal region as a hurricane approaches, an understanding of size and scale can be useful.
The Center for Single-Entity Nanochemistry and Nanocrystal Design (CSENND) partners with local artists to facilitate public art installations that explore the concepts of size and scale. We also create educational materials associated with the art for use in local outreach events. Learn more about our art installations by selecting a site below.
