“world’s smallest book measures 70 micrometers”
using a focused ion beam and scanning electron microscope (SEM), vancouver based artist robert chaplin has broken the guinness record forthe world’s smallest book. by taking the nano-typographic text from his illustrated story ‘teeny ted from turnip town’ onto a microchip thinner than a strand of hair, the story and type is traced onto the single-crystalline silicon surface where the line weight resolution equates to 42 nanometers (42 millionths of a millimeter). measuring 70 micrometers x 100 micrometers, the microchip version of the book cannot be seen with the naked eye or with a regular microscope, requiring an SEM to be seen from the nano-processing facility at simon fraser university.

Mika Aoki - Her Songs are Floating (2008), glass sculpture, abandoned car
Artist’s description:
“In the midst of pitch-dark space, an old car, shining by blue light, is to be seen dimly as if it is floating in the air. On the windshield, rearview mirrors, on the hood, in scratches on the body which are rust-eaten and turned up, and everywhere, forms like spores or fungi are growing and propagating. Creatures like transparent worms are creeping in a row. From the surface of the roof to the air above it, plants are growing, and their roots are spreading downward from the ceiling of the car. When you sit on the rear seat, you feel as if you and the car are sunk at the bottom of the sea.
Transparent creatures shone by the moon light glitter calmly.
Various feelings, memories, time that dwell within dying things grow quietly and start sprinkling invisible spores. The activity encircles the whole space, as if the girl who used to own this car is still singing there. Transparen lives that accept everything, repeatedly join and split inside of their bodies, and absorb space and grow.”
