In the last 9 years the Italian artist Alessandro Scali has created a series of micro and nanometric artworks representing so far, at national and international level, the exceeding of a limit, of a boundary, of a necessity: that of an art visible to the naked eye. His nano & micro artworks plays on the aesthetic paradox of exposing ideas, concepts and artworks that cannot be seen, nevertheless being not inexistent or unreal.
