Talk:Nanoart

Problems
I have some problems with this article, as presently written.

First sentence:


 * "NanoArt is a new art discipline related to the micro or nanosculptures created by artists or/and scientists through chemical or/and physical processes and visualized with powerful research tools like scanning electron microscopes and atomic force microscopes."

If NanoArt is made by scientists is it art?

The next sentence I have a problem with is:


 * "NanoArt is aimed to raise the public awareness about the Nanotechnology and its impact on our lives."

If it has the purpose of raising awareness, then, is it art? Does art have practical purposes? And what, pray tell, is raising public awareness? Are you sure NanoArt doesn't lower public awareness?

I think maybe the article should be renamed "Nano imagery." I don't think the sources support the term "NanoArt." Is there use of the term NanoArt outside of the two web sites cited? Bus stop 01:47, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I think the last section should end with "NanoArt is aimed to raise the public awareness about the Nanotechnology and its impact on our lives". The following passage about what Nanotechnology is is redundant since this is all explained in the entry on Nanotechnology, to which the first sentence links. And certainly, the final sentence warning us about the potential dangers of nanotechnology is not relevant to the content of this entry, i.e. NanoArt. It's like having an article on sctulpture and a separate section at the end defining what clay and marble are, ending with the warning that a chisel can pluck out your eye, and a big sculpture can hurt you if it falls. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Symbolt (talk • contribs) 07:21, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
