NANO-Art

Advanced Technology Applied in Fine Art

About NANO-Art

The Art makes the human from us. It is like a mirror in which we see ourselves. Encourages, develops and cultivates our receptivity, sensitivity, intuition and emphaty. The Art makes us better able to perceive and environs sense. It appeals not to only the intellect of human but raises its EQ.

Geographer, environmentalist and university professor

 

Over the past few decades, art and technology have become more intertwined than ever before. Whether it’s through providing new ways to express themselfs, allowing more human interaction or simply making the process of creating it easier.
This calatogue is the consequence of the collaboration between Academy of Fine Arts and Design and Polymer Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava.
Use of technology for nanofibers production and study of various tread and structures used in textile applied art.
Studium of structure of textile products for further use in textile art and design.
Electrospinning is the process of the ultra-fine fibers forming in the electric field. Generally the products are applicable in the various field of medicine, in separation processes, as membranes, in composites etc.
Least, but not last, this project express relation between art, environmental protection and reclaimation. In this project was used mainly material from the waste as metal wires, fencing and plastic bottle from polyethylene terephthalate.

LIGHT IN THE SPACE

Idea
Light and space are undoubtedly inevitable units of interaction. One without the other actually does not exist. Natural light in any space creates interesting moments and compositions. The space affects us according to the contrast or brightness of the light that falls on it.

COCOONS

Idea
The collection of jewelleris was created for international bienal of design and the same technology was useing to haute couture outfits Katarina Kobušová master project. The collection was called “Cocoons” because jewellery exhibite the similarities with silkworm cocoons.

About Authors

Alena Šišková
has graduated from Technical University in Liberec with Master of Science in Nonwovens and Bachelor of Education in Pedagogy and psychology. She is working on Polymer Institute of Slovak Academy of Sciences since 2009. She is interested in nanofibers and materials consisting from nanofibers prepared by electrospinning applied in many fields.

Jaroslava Frajová
received her master's degree at Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava, in Studio of Textile Space under the direction of Associated Professor Blanka Cepková. She completed her master's study at Technical University in Liberec at Textile Faculty, as well. There she worked in development of advanced materials for ballistic protection.

Jaroslava and Alena cooperate since 2015 and their objects were included in many international exhibitions and competitions.

Thanks to Mr. Andrej Opálka for a microscopic (SEM) image of nanofibers used in this works.
