First, I would like to start off by saying that I loved the quote that was on the lecture title slide in the fire video that said "Eventually, everything connects." by Charles Eames. This was a great quote to close the quarter out on. I think we all came into this class trying to figure out how art and science were connected, but after all these weeks we can finally make the connection. Space is the great unknown. The more research we do the more questions we need to be answered.   Luckily for us, we have been able to develop more and more technology that can allow us to explore the great unknown. For instance Telescopes. Like mentioned in lecture  telescope is from Greek word tele "far" and skopein "to look or see".  Some telescopes are extremely powerful and can see microwaves. I liked that Professor was able to connect the last lecture about Nanotechnology into this lecture about space with the buckyballs. A buckyball a sphere like molecule it is a ca

Me at the Event I went to the Chemical Entanglement event after practice which was really challenging because I was tired. The event didn't start on time which was slightly upsetting because I ran there just to be on time. I also tried extremely hard not to wear any fragrances all day, which is definitely not easy because after you have to spray something on if you can't shower. Brochures  handed out when first arriving.  This was one of my less favorite events. There would be people just come up and start speaking about what they do or on working on and it kind of went right over my head. So it was hard to follow. So every now and then I would catch myself falling asleep. But it wasn't all bad it had some really good moments.  Like mentioned before there were several speakers that went up and talked to us. David Crew was one of the speakers he worked with Epigenetics.  Epigenetics is the study of potentially heritable changes in gene expression. talked to u

This week was extremely hard for me to understand.I really tried to focus in on what he was saying but it seemed to go over my head sometimes. I found myself rewinding the videos constantly to see if I could make sense of what he said. After doing a little bit of research and reading our required reading for the week I was able to get a better understanding of the lecture for this weekend. Atom Bomb According to Nano.gov “Nanoscience and nanotechnology are the study and application of extremely small things and can be used across all the other science fields such as chemistry, biology, physics, material science, and engineering.” Richard Feynman is considered the father of Nanotechnology. He gave a very famous talk called “There’s plenty of room at the bottom” he also worked on the atom bomb. Feynman was reasonable for all the calculations when it came to the bomb. He also made sure that they met all the safety requirements. According to Feynman and The bomb by Al

Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system. When we look further at how the brain works we see that is extremely complicated. Perspectives: Neuroculture by Giovanni Frazzetto and Suzanne Anker state that neuroscience carries promises of revealing the underpinnings of our individuality, such as emotions, consciousness, the way we make decisions and our socio–psychological interactions. The study of how the mind works has always been so interesting to me If I wasn't a sociology major Psychology would definitely be my second choice. I found it interesting when Professor Vesna in lecture mentioned that Aristotle the father of Psychology thought the brain was just a cooling mechanism for blood and the heart did all the real thinking. To think that the brain that is such a vital part of living was though to not be as important that it was shows just how far technology has come over the years. Thanks to MRI and CT scans we are able to really see the brain without having

Just like Professor Vesna mentioned in Lecture The crossover between biotechnology + art is arguably more controversial thing in the science world and has been an ongoing discussion for years. biotechnology is helping develop technologies that help improve outlived and the health of our planet. This has helped us with our advancement of food products.  The technologies also help with to reduce the rate of infectious disease. In the article Defining Life: Artists Challenge Conventional Classifications by Ellen K. Levy “It is an improbable mix of animal, plant, and fungus—an anomaly that may exemplify some of the scientific and artistic developments taking place around us.” We don’t even know all the developments that are being made or have been made to make our lives easier. I for sure don’t. I never even thought about it before. I like how in lecture Professor Vesna talks about how Kathy High questions why we treat rats like are not important to our society. They have been key factors

I attended the brainstorming on May 5th. This event was one of my favorite events that I have been to.  I knew I would like it from the description. I was so excited to put the actual octopus headpiece on but I didn't end up getting to so I'm actually still really sad about that. for starts finding the room was actually really difficult and when we first walked in the room didn't look like it I was in the right room. There were papers on the wall nd we were instructed to read some papers on the wall and watch a short introduction video. The headset was supposed to be able to use electroencephalogram or EEG to observe the person brainwaves and have the two people get in sync so that their headpiece would show the same color. During the session, it was set up so we didn't get to see it actually work so that was disappointing but we got to do like a mock trial of it which was still very interesting to see. It amazing that people can really think and get on the same wa

I thought plastic surgery was much more recent.  it’s been popular this last couple of years. People have been getting multiple. I couldn’t imagine going under the knife hundreds of years ago. I do think of plastic surgery as a type of art. The way they can reconstruct a person's face is true art. It takes great skill.  The way medical machinery can show us these very advanced images of bones or muscles is art.   Sports Medicine in New york   Like Professor Vesna mentioned Technology has advanced so that we can see into the human body without cutting it open. Being an athlete I’ve has so many injuries in which I’ve had to get an MRI or X-ray.  So, medical technology has been crucial to my athletic career. It has allowed the doctors to know what was wrong with me so that they can fix it quickly. There is technology now where an athlete can be completely hooked up and every movement they make can be seen on the computer so see how their body is moving and if it is functioning

I attended the lecture with Lina Weintraub. The title of the lecture was WHAT’S NEXT? Eco Materialism and contemporary art. To be honest I had no idea what that meant when I saw it I just knew I needed to go to an event. I didn’t think I would find it interesting and I was just praying I would stay awake for the entire lecture. When I walked in I was greeted with chips and guacamole so I quickly changed my mind on me not being interested. Linda Weintraub started her lecture explaining how she got involved in art. She told us how she was talking to a friend about some new property she had recently got and told him “It’s beautiful.” He responded, “Is that all?”  She then went on a quest to see what else land could be. When she said they guy asked her that I thought to myself what else did he want her to say. I felt like it’s beautiful was sufficient. It wasn’t until later in her lecture I too understood what else land could be. Weintraub's land during the winter We

I was really excited to see that we were talking about robots today. Robots are all around us and in everything we do. Robots make our life easier but when they were first created they made some people’s lives more stressful. Machines and robots have started to take over in a sense. They have taken people's job away but they can work so much faster and require no training.  They a programmed with very specific and detailed code they tell them how to complete many tasks in a timely manner.  I found it interesting that in lecture Professor Vesna mentioned that the name robot came from the work robota meaning  “work”. ABB robot production line In Walter Benjamin’s 1939 essay, he talks about the reproduction of art work and how machines have ruined the “aura” of art.  He states that due to mechanical reproduction art work lacks, “its presence in time and space, its unique existence at the place where it happens to be.” Douglas Davis  states in his essay that "This means
