Welcome to the first SciArt of the Day! Throughout the month of September, we'll be showcasing one piece of science-art every morning in addition to our usual longer posts throughout the month. Even though we have already featured over 140 artists (from 4 species!) in over 100 posts during our first year, Kalliopi and I know the depth of the talent out there, so we'll be bringing you art that's different, obscure, funny, unsettling, or technically extraordinary, all informed by or challenging science culture.
Follow us on @Symbiartic on Twitter to keep up with the pace!
Now try saying "Super Symbiartic SciArt September" 3 times fast. The Flying Trilobite demands it.
