Bruce Sterling in LA - 19sterling-construction

I kidnapped Bruce Sterling in an unguarded moment when he should really have been writing a novel or something. Drove him to LACMA and forced him to see the new nanotechnology exhibit, which attempts to fuse art and science for an audience of mostly children. There were Buckminster Fuller quotes and heady particle physics books all over the place though, which was odd since the whole thing was supposed to be for kids. Perhaps eight-year-olds today are just smarter. Visit http://nano.arts.ucla.edu for more info on the show. All images shot with the nano-sized digital camera Canon Powershot SD10 Elph, which is a little smaller than a pack of cigarettes.
