Anyone can build a castle with sand, but can you build a castle on sand? Artist and photographer Vik Muniz collaborated with MIT researcher Marcelo Coelho to engrave a castle onto a single granule of sand.
The process brilliantly combines both high and low tech in the history of imagemaking. Muniz sketches the castle using a camera obscura, a pre-photography tool that helps him to render a 3D object into a 2D image.
