Biosensor is a playful depiction of biosensors and biosensing across multiple length scales. The background shapes were done in muted tones using Windsor and Newton pigment ink markers. These shapes allude to circuitry, conduits, signal amplifiers and other elements of a biosensor in a very abstract and fanciful manner. Fine line details using pigmented ink create molecules and molecule interations. Fine line patterns allude to light waves from fluorescent signals, which are common approaches to biosensing. Other patterns suggest the transduction of light waves into electrical pulses and signals.

One area where there is significant artistic license is in the length scales and sizes of objects depicted. Molecules and the details of molecules are roughly ten thousand to one hundred thousand times smaller than the electronic and sensing interfaces used to connect them to a biosensor. The light wavelengths used are orders of magnitude larger than a molecule and orders of magn...

(easy peasy checkout) Statement: Art can illuminate even the most elusive and difficult to comprehend ideas. Scientific imagery can be as impenetrable as well as intriguing and beautiful. Analysis of many technical diagrams, presentations of data, and scientific images is a set of commonly accepted rules that are learned and internalized over years of study and publication. These rules and tightly codified visual metaphors help scientists communicate complex ideas mostly amongst themselves, but they could also become barriers to new ideas and insights. Valluzzi's images are abstracted and diverge from the typical rules and...
