Magnification (Nov 2023)

for CORE 3: TOPICS with Natasha Chandani (1)(2) (FALL 2023): FINAL PROJECT

We traverse a landscape that defies the boundaries of scale. In this instance, magnification becomes a dual lens, expanding the minute into the monumental and zooming into the microscopic at the same time. Details that had previously been overlooked are brought to light, encouraging us to look at what is familiar from a new perspective. As we extend the boundaries of our visual perception, this story of metamorphosis becomes revealed. The act of magnification becomes an act of revelation, bringing to light the intricacies and beauty that can often be overlooked. The small that was once left out now takes center stage and reveals how important it is to how we perceive the world.

We delve into the interdisciplinary intersections of perception, art, and science in the nuanced exploration of these pages. The microscope bridges multiple disciplines by acting as both an artistic and scientific tool. The variations in size that direct your interaction with these pages create a visual choreography that reflects the intricate interplay between the magnified and the microscopic. We are encouraged to think about the dynamic relationship between the monumental and miniature by this deliberate modulation. The narrative of magnification extends into a deeper investigation that challenges our visual imagination in addition to being an investigation into the microscopic.
