Abstract (en)

Discusses the author's art, visualized by means of computer graphics. Because quantum physics is mathematical and non-pictorial, it is difficult to understand how the atom's electron structure works. The artist's purpose is to develop an architecture for the atom and to aid in the visualization of the building block of the universe.
