Nanotechnology has come to symbolize the next industrial revolution in America. The opportunities to reduce the scale of products, to make materials lighter and stronger, and to design machines that perform useful functions on the micrometer and smaller scale seem endless. However, the development of these materials is not without potential risk to the producer, their employees, the consumer, or the environment. By taking advantage of lessons learned in the past, the nanotechnology industry can reach its full potential and support safe environments at the same time.

When Marcel Duchamp exhibited his “Bottle Rack” in 1914 there was outrage. In placing a quotidian object in the context of a gallery, he made an everyday object a work of art merely by choosing it. Few since Duchamp have been as daring; Dan Flavin’s fluorescent lights, Carl Andre’s bricks and Jeff Koons’s Hoover are mediated by the artists in some way to become art. But whether through Duchamp’s Dada or Joseph Beuys’s shamanism, the mundane object has become a permanent fixture in the gallery. The relationship between design and art is becoming ever closer.
