Abstract:
Ant walks on a wall as well as on the ground, whereas horse cannot make it on a wall. However, if a horse becomes as small as an ant, the horse should be able to walk on the wall. This is because another situation may happen in such a small-scaled world where electrostatic and frictional forces are superior to gravity.
We attempted to create a micro-sized animation using state-of-art technologies and apparatuses in a scientific laboratory where I belong to as an artist. Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) (Nano Wizard2, JPK Instrument AG) is a tool to visualize the topographic features of various samples such as molecules and cells. Usually, scientists use AFM to measure and visualize the
height and hardness of samples, but we used AFM for art.
