Abstract
Brightly translucent, Nanoplastica reveals to an audience the internal structures of curiously familiar creatures, compelling us to question if we really know what we are looking at. What we are observing in Nanoplastica is the actual volumetric data of a series of miniature plastic marine and invertebrate creatures from 3D Microcomputed X-ray Tomography. Visually and conceptually intriguing as virtual objects, in real life these plastic animalia are no bigger than three-centimeters each and are moulded toys found inside a popular brand of chocolate. Volume rendered and animated in Drishti, a unique scientific volume exploration tool developed at the ANU, this data is not created through conventional meshframed CGI.
