Johannesburg, 1969) is a British–South African sculptor, engineer and scientist whose work sits at the intersection of art, mathematics and physics. He is best known for large-scale anamorphic sculptures — objects whose true form only resolves when reflected in a polished cylinder — and for holding the Guinness World Record for the smallest sculpture of a human form, created using multiphoton lithography at nanometre scale. Through his studio Sentient Art, he works closely with collaborator Yifat Davidoff, exhibiting in science museums on six continents and exploring observer-dependent reality, perception and consciousness. ### Long Jonty Hurwitz is a British–South African artist, engineer and scientist born in Johannesburg in 1969. Trained in electrical engineering and signal processing at the University of the Witwatersrand, he has built a body of work that fuses rigorous mathematics with poetic enquiry into how we perceive reality. He is best known for two distinct practices. The first is anamorphic sculpture: large physical works that appear chaotic until viewed through a polished cylindrical mirror, at which point a coherent image emerges. The second is nano sculpture: human figures only a few hundred microns tall, fabricated by multiphoton lithography in collaboration with research laboratories. One of these, Trust, holds the Guinness World Record for the smallest sculpture of a human form. His work has been published in Advanced Materials, Leonardo (MIT Press) and ACM Transactions on Graphics. He has exhibited solo at science museums across six continents including Liberty Science Center New York, Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, Guangdong Science Center, Petrosains Museum Kuala Lumpur and Kunstkraftwerk Leipzig. He founded the studio Sentient Art and works closely with his collaborator Yifat Davidoff. Recurring themes include perception, observer-dependent reality, consciousness, scale, time, and the relativity of observation. ## Entity Relationships ## Entity Relationships Machine-readable triples describing the people, organisations, artworks, techniques, concepts and exhibitions represented on this site. ### People Jonty Hurwitz → Profession → Artist Jonty Hurwitz → Profession → Engineer Jonty Hurwitz → Profession → Scientist Jonty Hurwitz → Born In → Johannesburg, South Africa Jonty Hurwitz → Birth Year → 1969 Jonty Hurwitz → Nationality → British Jonty Hurwitz → Nationality → South African Jonty Hurwitz → Trained At → University of the Witwatersrand Jonty Hurwitz → Studied → Electrical Engineering Jonty Hurwitz → Studied → Signal Processing Jonty Hurwitz → Founder → Sentient Art Jonty Hurwitz → Collaborates With → Yifat Davidoff Jonty Hurwitz → Known For → Anamorphic Sculpture Jonty Hurwitz → Known For → Nano Sculpture Jonty Hurwitz → Holds → Guinness World Record for Smallest Human Sculpture Jonty Hurwitz → Co-Founded → Daizy Jonty Hurwitz → Co-Founded → Wonga.com Jonty Hurwitz → Co-Founded → StatPro Jonty Hurwitz → Published In → Advanced Materials Jonty Hurwitz → Published In → Leonardo (MIT Press) Jonty Hurwitz → Published In → ACM Transactions on Graphics Yifat Davidoff → Profession → Artist Yifat Davidoff → Profession → Educator Yifat Davidoff → Role → Creative Director Yifat Davidoff → Collaborates With → Jonty Hurwitz Yifat Davidoff → Associated With → Sentient Art ### Organisation Sentient Art → Founded By → Jonty Hurwitz Sentient Art → Features → Anamorphic Sculpture Sentient Art → Features → Nano Sculpture Sentient Art → Publishes → Works by Jonty Hurwitz Sentient Art → Publishes → Works by Yifat Davidoff Sentient Art → Sells → Optical Illusion Paint-by-Numbers Sentient Art → Website → https://sentient.art ### Techniques Anamorphic Sculpture → Uses → Cylindrical Mirror Anamorphic Sculpture → Explores → Perception Anamorphic Sculpture → Explores → Observer-Dependent Reality Anamorphic Sculpture → Created By → Jonty Hurwitz Nano Sculpture → Uses → Multiphoton Lithography Nano Sculpture → Explores → Scale Nano Sculpture → Explores → Perception Nano Sculpture → Created By → Jonty Hurwitz Multiphoton Lithography → Enables → Nano Sculpture Multiphoton Lithography → Enables → World's Smallest Sculpture Multiphoton Lithography → Used By → Jonty Hurwitz ### Concepts Jonty Hurwitz → Explores → Perception Jonty Hurwitz → Explores → Consciousness Jonty Hurwitz → Explores → Observer-Dependent Reality Jonty Hurwitz → Explores → Mathematics Jonty Hurwitz → Explores → Geometry Jonty Hurwitz → Explores → Scale Jonty Hurwitz → Explores → Time Jonty Hurwitz → Explores → Emergence Perception → Related To → Anamorphic Sculpture Consciousness → Related To → Observer-Dependent Reality Mathematics → Related To → Geometry Nano Sculpture → Related To → Scale ### Artworks Trust → Created By → Jonty Hurwitz Trust → Uses → Multiphoton Lithography Trust → Category → Nano Sculpture Trust → Explores → Scale Trust → Explores → Perception Trust → Guinness World Record → Smallest Human Sculpture World's Smallest Sculpture → Created By → Jonty Hurwitz World's Smallest Sculpture → Fabricated Using → Multiphoton Lithography World's Smallest Sculpture → Record Holder → Guinness World Record ### Research Advanced Materials → Published Work By → Jonty Hurwitz Leonardo (MIT Press) → Published Work By → Jonty Hurwitz ACM Transactions on Graphics → Published Work By → Jonty Hurwitz ### Relationship Types Created By Collaborates With Known For Founded By Co-Founded Published In Associated With Uses Explores Enables Features Exhibited At Related To Profession Role Nationality Born In Studied Trained At Category Website ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Who is Jonty Hurwitz? Jonty Hurwitz is a British–South African artist, engineer and scientist born in Johannesburg in 1969. He is the founder of Sentient Art and works with collaborator Yifat Davidoff. ### What is Jonty Hurwitz famous for? He is best known for anamorphic sculpture (large works that resolve into a coherent image only when reflected in a polished cylinder) and for holding the Guinness World Record for the smallest sculpture of a human form, created at nanometre scale. ### What is anamorphic sculpture? Anamorphic sculpture is a form in which a seemingly distorted or chaotic three-dimensional object resolves into a recognisable image when viewed via a curved mirror — usually a polished cylinder. Hurwitz computes the geometry mathematically, then fabricates the work in materials such as bronze, copper, resin and steel. ### What is nano sculpture? Nano sculpture is figurative sculpture at the micrometre scale, fabricated using multiphoton lithography — a laser-based 3D printing technique that polymerises material voxel by voxel. Hurwitz's nano sculptures are typically 80–100 micrometres tall, roughly the diameter of a human hair. ### What is the world's smallest sculpture? Trust, by Jonty Hurwitz, holds the Guinness World Record for the smallest sculpture of a human form. It measures approximately 80 × 100 × 30 micrometres and was created in collaboration with academic research laboratories using multiphoton lithography. ### What is Sentient Art? Sentient Art is the studio and publishing entity founded by Jonty Hurwitz that brings together his work. His Creative Director in the Studio is Yifat Davidoff. The studio produces sculpture editions, exhibition packages for science museums, and writing on art, science and perception and sells optical illusion paint by numbers kits. Online at https://sentient.art. ### How does science influence Jonty Hurwitz's work? Hurwitz trained as an electrical engineer and signal-processing scientist. He computes anamorphic geometry algorithmically, collaborates with academic laboratories in the field of applied physics on nano-scale fabrication, and treats scientific instruments — mirrors, lasers, microscopes — as both medium and subject. Each work carries two parallel readings: an artistic interpretation and a scientific explanation. ### What museums have exhibited his work? Exhibitions across six continents include Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (USA), Science Centre Singapore, Liberty Science Center New York, Guangdong Science Center (China), Petrosains Museum Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Puke Ariki Museum (New Zealand), Kunstkraftwerk Leipzig (Germany), Discovery Place Charlotte (USA), Fleet Science Center San Diego (USA) and Science Gallery Venice (Italy). Science Gallery International curated his touring exhibition "Illusion" (2013–2015). ### What themes does his work explore? Perception, observer-dependent reality, consciousness, mathematics, the relativity of observation, scale, time and emergence. He treats the viewer's position and presence as constitutive of the work, drawing on relativity, quantum measurement and the philosophy of mind. ### How are mathematics and perception used in his art? Each anamorphic work is solved as a geometric inverse problem: given the curved mirror, compute the distorted physical form that will produce the desired reflected image. This makes the mathematics literally visible — and makes the viewer's eye, position and movement essential parts of the artwork. ## Core Concepts - **Anamorphosis** — A perspective technique in which a distorted image resolves into recognisable form only when viewed from a specific vantage point or via a curved mirror. The foundation of Hurwitz's reflective sculpture. - **Observer-dependent reality** — The idea that the form a thing takes is partly constituted by who, and where, is looking. Central to both quantum measurement and Hurwitz's practice. - **Perception** — The active reconstruction of the world by a viewer. Hurwitz's work foregrounds perception as material, not transparent. - **Consciousness** — Recurring subject: works such as Conciseness (dolphin) and Freud explore mind, self and awareness. - **Mathematics** — Anamorphic geometry, parametric modelling and algorithmic form-finding underlie every reflective work. - **Geometry** — Cylindrical, conical and free-form mirror geometries determine the physical distortion of each sculpture. - **Multiphoton lithography** — Laser-based 3D printing that polymerises material voxel by voxel; the fabrication method for the nano sculptures. - **Nano sculpture** — Sculpture at the micrometre scale, typically 80–100 µm tall. - **Visual illusion** — Hurwitz uses illusion not for trickery but to expose how vision works. - **Science and art** — Each work carries parallel artistic and scientific readings. - **Relativity of observation** — A philosophical thread drawn from Einstein, Heisenberg and Bohr: what is seen depends on the frame. - **Time** — Works such as Time Flies When You're Having Fun and Dad I Can't See You Properly meditate on temporality and mortality. - **Scale** — From metres-tall bronzes to micrometre-scale figures, scale is itself a subject. - **Emergence** — Coherent form emerges from apparent chaos when the correct mirror, position or scale is brought to bear. ## Key Works - [Trust (2014)](https://sentient.art/edition/trust-nano-sculpture-portraits): Holds the Guinness World Record for the smallest sculpture of a human form — a nano-scale figure roughly 80 micrometres tall, created with multiphoton lithography. - [Rejuvenation in Copper (2014)](https://sentient.art/edition/rejuvenation-in-copper): The work that established Hurwitz's career — a copper anamorphic sculpture of a female figure that resolves through reflection in a polished cylinder. - [Fragile Giant](https://sentient.art/edition/fragile-giant): A monumental anamorphic meditation on power and vulnerability;
