Atomic Art is inspired by the mysterious and magical patterns of atoms as seen through modern microscopes.
The sublime patterns speak of the subtle energies that lie just beyond our perceptions.
At present, the art is based on Silicon and Iridium atoms. Silicon is the eighth most common element in the universe and sits at the heart of all things digital. Iridium is one of the rarest of elements and is used in the production of semiconductors.
David Mankey has been creating Atomic Art since 1988 and has held many successful exhibitions including a ground breaking multimedia driven show at the National Science and Technology Centre and at the Front Gallery.

hey caneles
The cubes were just an idea that come to me. They are still the silicon atom patterns, just fashioned to get the cube look. I am so glad you like them. It's a big compliment considering the fantastic work you do

and there is also the scientific explanation for hypercubes, here's the wikipedia one's en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercube
and there is also salvador dali's painting called corpus hypercubicus
great one!

I used this same concept of structure recently on an art piece, I call them 'Squircles'. Due to the infinite squares and circles the pattern creates.
Anyway, check out all around the sun and under 'Portland'

Thanks for sharing these molecular structures, they are so fascinating
