Micro-sculpture
Micro-sculptures. Just when you think you've seen it all. (And BTW another entry in the art-or-sport category.) He is apparently not using any mechanical-arms technology to scale down the movement of his hands. It's incredible.
I saw it on french TV news. He uses a microscope. But no special tech tools. Incredible, but true.
What he DOES use, is adequate materials, like gold or silk, stuff that you can conveniently work on at very small scale.
He held an exhibit, and every art piece was under a microscope. "The better to see you, my child."
Then came a tiny, faint, squeaky voice that seemed like it was saying: "Hulk not puny! Hulk will smash all you giants! Hulk is stronger one there is, even stronger than ants!" But right at that moment, the Nutcracker invited the SugarPlum Fairy for a waltz, and everybody forgot the tiny voice that was green with envy.
"A small step for man", indeed!!! :-)
I bet he could get a camel through the eye of a needle no problem. (But not "fingers in the nose" I hope! Eyew...)
