Fascination spurs out of the amazing technology we have today. The Scanning Electron Microscope enables us to go into the micro scale and nano scale of objects, might be organic or inorganic. Art either inspires technology or it is inspired by it. The view into the unknown is revealing of the symbiosis of the processes on all levels. What we see are processes beforehand not seen by people. We could have only felt them. Chewing gum is an ordinary object, not much thought about. We discard it after use. It is something that has been chewed over and over again. The same as with thoughts, ideas, art, etc. Also a chewed, discarded object has an internal life on its own. Due to a objective view on the subject, the chewing gum becomes an artifact, a piece of human history. As an object without a particular value it becomes an object of research and it gains value. Blowing bubbles on a micro scale on its own, for itself.
