A new level for the argument of whether size really matters; featuring an array of eighteen different contributors including Federico Díaz and Alexandr Prokop, and 35 different pieces, DOX NANO promises to bring smaller-than-life subjects to a visual level.  The exhibit focuses on pieces in the dimension 10ˉ9m or one-billionth of a meter, and brings together the work of scientists and Czech artists to explore the union of nanotechnology and art. 

The exhibition includes educational lectures about nano structures and nano systems, guided tours of the art, as well as an installation called NanoLAB by David Černý. The art complements the occurrence of European scientific conferences in the nano world such as EuroNanoForum2009, and Prague Meetings on Macromolecules.  DOX NANO aims to draw the viewer into the relatively unexamined realm of the nanocosmos, inviting them to discover their inner fascination with the ironically large possibilities of nano in technology and art.  The subjects may be miniscule but the impact may just open up a whole new visual dimension.
