Space + Art

Space is something that people have been involved in and attempted to learn more about more and more ever since the beginning of our time. In combination of everything in our last 10 weeks of our class, we see it all in place while looking at this weeks lecture with space and art. With the technology being shown with the telescopes that Galileo invented, to the math being shown when looking at the lightyears and distance, to the nano science part being shown when you look at the perspective of how small we are in comparison to the rest of the universe. My interest was drawn to this week because of how relatable it is to the whole quarter.


While looking more in depth into Space now and seeing incredible images and videos, I really do believe that space is art in and of itself. So many painters and artist can capture images, or create their own, because of the infinite space, the beautiful pieces, and detailed pieces that are spread in our space. A lot of people take the images in our space for granted because it is something very hard to be involved with, but it is something that would be very worth peoples time to admire and love. 

This week was really able to capture the true headlines of all the weeks leading up to this one in all of our previous weeks. The able to relate it was intriguing to me, as I really enjoying seeing Space compared with art.

    I really found space to be fascinating as well. The fact that it is an infinite and ongoing investigation is kind of scary. I think the ability we have to depict space through art is fascinating and as we learn more about space the quality of art will continue to grow.

    Kyle,
    I think that space holds an endless amount of possibilities for art and beauty as well. It is quite interesting how space is always there, but we never really think about it and how small we are in relation. We can benefit from learning more about space and the art that it could be because there is basically an endless amount of information that we can learn about space. Great blog!

BioTech + Art

In this weeks blog section I found it very interesting because of how relevant it is to everyone. With the main point of the week being genome, we learned that it is a set of chromosomes and microorganisms. Many may think that this particular part of you isn't important, but in reality it may be the most important part of your body. The genome makes you different from everyone else on earth, and individualizes you from the rest. If the genome were to be absent, everyone would be the same person and we all know how different the world would be if that was the case. The different complexities and differences within the double helix is what makes us all different. To me, I find it very interesting that the genome is a human attribute but it is also turned into an art. Similar to my event #2, I can relate the fact that not all art works are originally made to be artwork, but instead are either human attributes or human creations that were turned into artworks. Particularly, the doubl...

Robotics + Art

It has been interesting and appealing to see the advancement art have made while our technology has been improving all the time around us. Similar to ideas such as robots, we have seen art and technology clash together to create things that are pieces of both. Industrialization was the first sign of technological ideas being formed and took a step forward. Industrialization, or the change from economic to society dominant, can at a time when society allowed more use of technology and its advancements to be used. Two common known machines that were made during the industrialization period were the cotton gin and steam engine. With the steam engine creating steam to operate machines instead of the necessity of hand work and the cotton gin making it much quicker and easier to separate cotton, we are able to see the advances that technology is making around us in ours societies. These may not directly be robots, but we see the resemblance in them and how they are created with advancing t...

The topic of Nanotechnology is dealing with small atoms and molecules and what their meaning and importance is. As we look at the topic of nanotechnology we can see how such small items have large impacts in our lives. As most things throughout the quarter have, it can connect back to art in some form. One that is related to art, but also to everyones lives, we see that the smallest things can have large impacts in peoples lives. Nanotechnology is a very important form of technology and art.  Nanotech is interesting because it is so small, yet plays huge rolls in our lives. For example, nanotechnology is able to turn liquids to solids and flammable substance to non-flammable. As this possibility is provided we also learn how cancer treatment can be made better through nanotechnology. In particular, it was showed that bee venom could be used for treatment on individual cancer cells. The was astonishing me because to think that such a small particle could be what helps cure such...
