Blue morph: metaphor and metamorphosis

Authors Info & Claims
Published:25 October 2010Publication History

ABSTRACT

The authors describe the Blue Morph installation they developed and produced in full collaboration as an art/science hybrid. Together, Vesna and Gimzewski created an art | science project that uses nano-scale images and sounds derived from the metamorphosis of a chrysalis into a butterfly as the overarching metaphor for the collective shift in consciousness. This is a condensed version of the conceptual and scientific background for the artwork that was developed with the goal of creating many different interpretations and experiences.
