Daisuke Inoue, Associate Professor in the Faculty of Design, Kyushu University, has received the Special Art Prize at the “2024 NIKON JOICO AWARD” for his microscope art work.
This award, organized by Nikon Solutions Co., Ltd., is a unique initiative that comprehensively evaluates the “artistic quality” and “academic value” of images captured through a microscope. In the field of biology, the astonishingly beautiful patterns and colors created by the minute structures of life are captured alongside scientific discoveries, while from an artistic perspective, their visual appeal and creativity take center stage. This fusion of bio and art serves as a catalyst for sparking new inspiration.
Prof. Inoue’s award-winning work focuses on microtubules—dynamic fibrous proteins—utilizing microfabrication techniques commonly employed in semiconductor manufacturing to control the direction of their movement. The stunning images observed under the microscope earned high praise.
