Also known as chip art, silicon art, microchip graffiti or photomicrography, was popular in the 1970's & 80's.









Chip art is composed of microscopic images that have been placed on a computer chip by the original mask designers. These images (such as Mickey Mouse, Daffy Duck, the engineer's signature, or a variety of slogans) are so small they can only be seen with a microscope (for example, three of them next to each other would equal the width of a human hair).
