I am forever amazed how you can find art in nature, in science or even in that glass of alcohol you're sipping. Place anything under a microscope and it will most certainly reveal another world unbeknownst to the naked eye. Micro-miniature Art, the brainchild of Florida State researcher Micheal Davidson, was developed as a way to fund his lab (he originally printed the images on neck ties). He placed various alcohols or cocktails under a microscope produced there beautiful kaleidoscope images. The alcohols were crystalized on a microscope slide, then polarized light was passed through it and magnifying it 1000x. Even more interesting is that each image seems to evoke the same mood that associated with each drink. Next time I'm sipping a glass of chilled Rosé, I'll have to imagine all the colours dancing around in my mouth like tiny snowflakes.
