19. Through the Looking Glass (photographic print)
20. Molecular Transit (photographic print)

Arthur Olson's two images explore molecular subjects with a whimsical twist. Through the Looking Glass was created as a journal cover describing the synthesis of a 'mirror image' protein - using all D-amino acids. Thus the 'real world' side of the mirror shows the unnatural enantiomer of the protein and a reversed schematic of its action. Apparently, it was difficult to get the printers to realize the correct sense of this image! Molecular Transit ties together the theme of the 1994 MGS meeting with its venue. The images were created using texture mapping in AVS.
