  • After four years of experimentation, Photographer Vik Muniz and designer Marcelo Coelho successfully created microscopic drawings of castles on single grains of sand. Take an in-depth look into the advanced and archaic processes and inspirations behind these revolutionary micro-masterpieces.

    Can't provide everyone with a source of clean water; but can put a sand castle on a grain of sand.....ah, to be human.

    He talks about taking a step back and thinking about what the image really means...this is a very intelligent perspective....deconstructing and reconstructing reality... It's not just the art (simple, some may say). But to know each image is on a SINGLE GRAIN OF SAND...how can you not be intrigued and amazed? It really makes you think about "how much" is really out there...so much we can't see but from a distance - galaxies...or not at all - the center of the ever expanding universe...down to the smallest particles that exist, anywhere.

    Vic Muniz is my hero in the world of art. I love the garbage project 2010. I feel it speaks volumes of who Muniz is as a human being. I dream of doing work like his, in such a way that it changes how people feel about themselves.

    Impressive! I bet people would pay a lot of money for a self portrait on a grain of sand.

    It's an interesting experiment but I don't really see why it is so cool or original. Haven't you heard of Willard Wigan or Mikola Sjadristij? They make sculptures and drawings at the same scale by HAND. Sjadristij even made a 12 page book full of poems and a portrait drawing at a size only 0.6 mm2. Now that's truly mind-blowing and meaningful.

    Cool as hell, the scale of a mountain drawn onto its smallest genetic component, a grain of sand.

    This is now one of the most expensive grains of sand since time on a FIB is about $300 per hour (terrestrial at least since Moon rocks cost us $1,000,000 per once). But a good way to convey the nexus of art and science. BTW, an artist having an idea and having someone else execute it is a time honored way of producing art.

    Fake, i took out a ruler and put it up to the castle on the video and it was almost 3 inches wide. A grain of sand is NOT 3 inches wide

    despite the effort of these people, it is still an exercise of self referential craftsmanship executed only to deliver amusement and nothing else. It could be compared to a bad hollywood movie.

      Sounds like a personal problem. Hope you can get the help you need this holiday season. And remember, just because something's done on a grain of sand doesn't mean it's intrinsically interesting. If you are impressed, yeah, maybe your life is so shitty that a cute gimmick blows your mind. How about a poem written on a grain of sand? Doesn't make it a good poem.

    The machine is the impressive part here, not the artist. His creation piece is much more artistically impressive to me. But the castle drawings are cool I guess.
