Markos R. Kay is a digital artist based in London. He is best known for his artificial life video art experiment “aDiatomea”, his films and prints have been exhibited at galleries and design events worldwide. Markos’ work explores evolution and complexity. “Conceptual illustrations based on Nobel Laureate Eric Betzig’s work on the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy. This microscopy technique provides a highly detailed, three-dimensional, animated view of the microscopic world revealing a ground-breaking picture of complex cellular processes and forms. The Betzig Lab’s recordings of biological processes using this technique were artistically interpreted and recreated as 3d simulations which were then used to extract the final images for print. The video “Microscopic Leaps” was created out of the recordings of these simulation experiments.”
