Tracing the origins of the Anthropoperiphery: twenty years after engraving fifty-four human footprints onto a silicon chip at Politecnico di Torino, a reflection on nanoart, photolithography, and the shift from human sovereignty to microscopic traces.

Why should the biological limits of our eyes define the boundaries of Art? Challenging normative aesthetics, this record traces the origins of the Anthropoperiphery through Nanoart. By creating physically real but optically invisible sculptures, the experiment sought to dismantle the "optical dictatorship" and observe what remains of art when the human receiver is removed.
