About this Artwork:

The subject of this artwork is an unusal structure I found on a bipolar chip. Most of the chip has "normal" straight line and right angle traces. So, when I saw this crazy design in a field of chip traces, I thought, "Aliens! Crop Circles!" I believe it has some sort of electric charge storage function, but I haven't seen anything like it before.

Size:  21"x30"

Primary colors: Yellow, Brown, Blue, Magenta

About ChipScapesTM:

ChipScapesTM artist Steve Emery created this artwork. ChipScapesTM are digital photographs taken of computer chips. These microscopic chip landscapes, or ChipScapesTM, are created by photographing  silicon chips. Steve uses macro lenses, microscopes and special lighting to create these photographs. To the naked eye, computer chips are mostly gray, the color of the silicon and aluminum used to create them. However, chips are built in layers like a cake. These layers are separated by glass, so it is possible to see down into the chip. These different layers create refractions of light, like a prism. With magnification, special lighting, and image processing, it is possible to coax different colors from these chips. Each chip has different "personalities" under different lighting conditions.
