Chris Robinson is a visual artist, professor of art, and member of the nanoCenter at the University of South Carolina. His interests and artwork focus on the development, role, and mediation of complex science and technology in contemporary culture and how it assists in and influences decision-making. Artwork throughout his career has included the early use of computers in the arts, ambient and laser light installations, aviation and space development, scientific exploration, complex drawings of digital spaces, 3D imaging, and in recent years the rapid emergence of nanoscience/technology. Robinson has participated as a senior and co-principal investigator on over $3.5 million of United States National Science Foundation and related funding with multidisciplinary teams investigating the broader impacts, societal implications, and role of images on the development of nanotechnology, and spent the spring 2009 as a visiting professor at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, Italy working with the Italian National Enterprise for nanoScience and nanoTechnology (NEST). More recently he is working with Synzyme Technologies in the visualization and development of artificial blood and the Carnegie Mellon University Studio for Creative Enquiry in the design, preparation, and upcoming flight of a very small museum to be placed on the surface of the moon. Robinson crosses the two cultures and exhibits, writes, and presents at national and international venues and conferences in the arts and the sciences throughout North and South America, Europe, and Asia.
