Nano Mandala

by Victoria Vesna in collaboration with nanoscientist James Gimzewski and tibetan monks from the Ghaden Lhopa Khangsten Monastery - The nano mandala installation incorporates a sand mandala (a cosmic diagram and ritualistic symbol 0 - the universe - used in Hinduism and Buddhism, which can be translated from Sanskrit as "whole", "circle" or "zero"). Visitors watch as images of a grain of sand are projected in evolving scale from the molecular structure of a single grain to the recognizable.
