Kohls' nanotech art is mentioned in the 2007 book 'Information Arts: Intersections of Art, Science, and Technology' By S. Wilson
In 2003 the Los Angeles County Museum of Art held an exhibition titled NANO created by an interdisciplinary team of artists, scientists, and humanists led by Victoria Vesna, James Gimzewski, and Katherine Hayles. The exhibition negotiated the perceptual shift required to comprehend the world at nano-scale.
