Nick Veasey - Xray Art
Nick Veasey is a British photographer and artist chiefly known for artworks created from x-ray imaging. Unlike many other x-ray artists, he doesn't chiefly work with x-ray images created during medical examinations.
Where to see X-ray art
There are several places where you can see X-ray art. This includes on the artists websites, in commercial buildings across the world, in permanent museums and in temporary exhibition if different galleries.
X-ray style art in Australia - Xray Art
Indigenous Australian art, also known as Australian Aboriginal art, includes a vast array of art forms – such as wood carving, rock carving, sculpting, leaf painting, dot painting, sand painting, and more – and some of it is x-ray style art.
CT scan art - Xray Art
A CT scan, also known as a Computer Tomography scan, is created when a computer program processes a combination of a large number of x-ray images taken from different angles. The result is cross-sectional (i.e. tomographic) images of the scanned object.
Fluoroscopy - Xray Art
Fluoroscopy is an imaging technique that uses x-rays to obtain real-time moving images. It is primarily used for medical imaging and airport security scanning, but some x-ray artists, including video installation artists, have been exploring the possibility of flouroscopy art in recent years.
X-ray - Xray Art
Some types of x-ray art explore the fact that x-rays make it possible to probe structures much smaller than can be seen through a normal microscope. (As mentioned above, the wavelengths of x-rays are shorter than the wavelengths of light visible to the human eye.)
Pre-Röntgen x-ray history - Xray Art
On 8 February 1896, just six weeks after Röntgen’s groundbreaking x-ray presentation, Pulyui published his own findings in the French journal La Nature. This included photographs showing the skeleton of a stillborn child.
Radiography - Xray Art
Radiography is an x-ray based imaging technique. An x-ray generator is used to produce x-rays, which are projected toward the object. Different materials will absorb different amounts of x-rays, depending on factors such as density and structural composition.
Hazards - Xray Art
High x-ray exposure can cause radiation burns on the skin and other tissue. The ionizing radiation interacts with the cells, injuring them, and the body responds with redness (erythema) at the exposed site.
The Discovery of X-Ray - Xray Art
The discovery of the x-ray was a culmination of several years of research into electricity and radiation. The milestone moment occurred on November 8, 1895, when Wilhelm Röntgen, a professor at Würzburg University, was conducting experiments on cathode rays.
