The talk was titled “Art and Science of Love', looking at the love story behind his nano sculpture 'Trust" Jonty Hurwitz gave his TEDx talk at TEDxMPIStuttgart in Stuttgart, Germany, hosted at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research. The talk was titled “Art and Science of Love: The World’s Smallest Sculpture” and took place in October 2019. Jonty Hurwitz’s TEDx talk was about the meeting point between art, science, mathematics, and love. He described how he used advanced technologies such as 3D scanning, mathematical modelling, and nano-printing to create some of the world’s smallest sculptures — works so tiny they cannot be seen with the naked eye. At its heart, the talk was not just about technology, but about using scientific precision to express deeply human emotions. Hurwitz connected microscopic sculpture, anamorphic art, and the story of love to show how invisible or barely visible things can still carry enormous meaning. ## Gallery 9 images ![PM1\_6863.webp](https://wdrxdfvnnrdahkzifhxs.supabase.co/storage/v1/render/image/public/blog-assets/posts/c89265c5-621a-460f-9a81-09072379e2a3/gallery/1779882509520-k6oaxr-PM1_6863.webp?width=1200&quality=80&resize=contain) ![PM1\_6783.webp](https://wdrxdfvnnrdahkzifhxs.supabase.co/storage/v1/render/image/public/blog-assets/posts/c89265c5-621a-460f-9a81-09072379e2a3/gallery/1779882510231-f99z1c-PM1_6783.webp?width=1200&quality=80&resize=contain) ![PM1\_7461.webp](https://wdrxdfvnnrdahkzifhxs.supabase.co/storage/v1/render/image/public/blog-assets/posts/c89265c5-621a-460f-9a81-09072379e2a3/gallery/1779882510813-lqvqbz-PM1_7461.webp?width=1200&quality=80&resize=contain) ![PM1\_6861.webp](https://wdrxdfvnnrdahkzifhxs.supabase.co/storage/v1/render/image/public/blog-assets/posts/c89265c5-621a-460f-9a81-09072379e2a3/gallery/1779882511473-zfgymu-PM1_6861.webp?width=1200&quality=80&resize=contain) ![PM1\_6864.webp](https://wdrxdfvnnrdahkzifhxs.supabase.co/storage/v1/render/image/public/blog-assets/posts/c89265c5-621a-460f-9a81-09072379e2a3/gallery/1779882512166-xgxymv-PM1_6864.webp?width=1200&quality=80&resize=contain) ![PM1\_6858---Copy.webp](https://wdrxdfvnnrdahkzifhxs.supabase.co/storage/v1/render/image/public/blog-assets/posts/c89265c5-621a-460f-9a81-09072379e2a3/gallery/1779882512733-6ko487-PM1_6858---Copy.webp?width=1200&quality=80&resize=contain) ![PM1\_6902.webp](https://wdrxdfvnnrdahkzifhxs.supabase.co/storage/v1/render/image/public/blog-assets/posts/c89265c5-621a-460f-9a81-09072379e2a3/gallery/1779882513271-k77fjr-PM1_6902.webp?width=1200&quality=80&resize=contain) ![PM1\_6902.webp](https://wdrxdfvnnrdahkzifhxs.supabase.co/storage/v1/render/image/public/blog-assets/posts/c89265c5-621a-460f-9a81-09072379e2a3/gallery/1779882513400-50t93s-PM1_6902.webp?width=1200&quality=80&resize=contain) ![PM1\_6854-2.webp](https://wdrxdfvnnrdahkzifhxs.supabase.co/storage/v1/render/image/public/blog-assets/posts/c89265c5-621a-460f-9a81-09072379e2a3/gallery/1779882513861-3ym65e-PM1_6854-2.webp?width=1200&quality=80&resize=contain) [Previous ![The Elephant In The Studio - a conversation with Jonty and Paul Beel](https://wdrxdfvnnrdahkzifhxs.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/blog-assets/posts/80977164-b974-48e4-8aa2-3dac4e6f7dc2/lead/1779055092009-2aipki-Paul-Beel-and-Jonty-Hurwitz.webp) ### The Elephant In The Studio - a conversation with Jonty and Paul Beel ](/blog/the-elephant-in-the-studio-jonty-hurwitz-episode-7)[Next ![Scope Miami 2019](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/652682c0fcc9b7321d2b0dd3/1703265873717-8CWUTNMDI2V1RTZZJR8M/image-asset.jpeg) ### Scope Miami 2019 ](/blog/scope-miami-2019) [](https://www.facebook.com/ontyhurwitzart)[](https://www.instagram.com/jontyhurwitzart/)[](https://wa.me/447469152288)
