UConn Tech Park Artist’s Spotlight This is the 8th piece in a series featuring the artwork of UConn Digital Media and Design (DMD) Graduate Assistants Yucheng Hang, 杭雨城, and Maria Raykova. In an art-meets-science partnership, Yucheng and Maria create imaginative designs based on microscopy images provided by UConn Tech Park – Innovation Partnership Building researchers. Artist's Statement: “When I narrowed my eyes and looked at the original image, I found that the darker dots seemed to form some patterns, which inspired me. I decided to connect these dots into different constellations. The yellow one is Capricorn, purple is Cassiopeia, blue is Cancer, orange is Aries, green is Pisces and red is Taurus. I found it interesting to express the macro world with elements of the micro world.” —Yucheng Hang The original image is displayed in the comments below. The sample is a CdSe-CdS core-shell quantum dot. Courtesy of Xudong Wang, CAMMA, IPB at UConn Tech Park. #artwork, #science
