Big Nano Experiments
The expected possibilities of nanotechnology currently stretch from stronger materials to the fear of self-replicating ‘grey goo' swamping the world. I am interested what kind of effects nanotechnology might practically have on the tangible world around us.

Due to the impracticalities of hands-on experimentation with nanotechnology I chose to work on the ‘very small scale' instead. The result is a series of sketches about the effects of miniaturization on our interaction with and perception of the world.

The Macbook Nano is a laptop with a thickness of 50.000 Nano Meter

A macbook nano with a working hinge, these prototypes were used to experience working on a tiny scale.

At a certain scale conventional interactions become impossible. New ways of interacting have to be discovered. Binary input...?

The NanoPhone. How will our products change as technology miniaturizes to the invisible but our bodies maintain their scale?

Observations from the tiny world. (1) The danger of a breath. (4) Working between heartbeats. (5) Feeling eye muscles tighten.
