(... and for those of us who don't speak Italian:
WASHINGTON AISE On the occasion of the 500th
anniversary of the death of Leonardo Da Vinci,
the Embassy of Italy in Washington DC hosts the
photo exhibition "Leonardo and Pop Microscopy.
Combining art and science towards the future ",
organized in collaboration with the One Health
Center of Excellence of the University of Florida
in Gainesville and, in Italy, the Italian
Institute of Technology (IIT) in Genoa.
Leonardo is the brilliant mind that brought
together Art and Science, the interdisciplinary
man of the Renaissance par excellence. It
embodies the creativity that has always
distinguished Italy and, as Italians, it is our
duty to keep this interdisciplinary culture alive
, said the Italian ambassador to the United
States, Armando Varricchio. "The spirit of
Leonardo lives today in the work of over 15,000
Italian scientists and researchers working in the
most advanced university centers and laboratories
in the United States, in all disciplines from
physics to biology, from mathematics to advanced
manufacturing, from medicine to space", has continued.
Pop Microscopy presents a series of extraordinary
high-resolution images of cells, molecules,
organs and tissues, revealing the beauty and art
of the form and function of an otherwise hidden
world. The works on display are microscope
photographs, acquired by eminent scientists and
Nobel Prize winners, such as Eric Betzig, Martin
Chalfie and Stefan W. Hell, and published in
prestigious scientific journals. The images were
taken in the laboratories, then transformed into
art, with a distinct pop art style.
Exhibited for the first time at the Italian
Institute of Technology in November 2015, this
traveling exhibition was presented in various
locations of the University of Florida between
June 2018 and February 2019, involving various
departments and research centers in a rich
interdisciplinary dialogue on Science , Humanities and Art.
Pop Microscopy was designed and developed at the
Iit Nikon Imaging Center by Alberto Diaspro,
director of the Nanophysics Department of the
Italian Institute of Technology, in collaboration
with Italian and worldwide scientists, and curated by Claudia Diaspro. (Aise)
