Today I joined a virtual event, Cosmological Elements. I found the elements of ecologies and representations when you look at it from different directions, to be very interesting. It allows us to use our resources, approach things in a broader context, and find an engaging way to explore these systems. Exbiotonica was something I had never heard of but I thought it was extremely fascinating.  Using space to create art allowed for technology to capture images in many different directions relating back to the beginning of learning technology. This art form allowed for many different ways for the images to create meaning by altering the art in outer space. Space ecologies were presented by putting potted plants and capturing images of them with the background behind space itself. When this was being presented, I wondered what kind of math was needed to make this happen. I wondered how the two functioned together for this particular project. The idea of this project is that Exbiotanica...

When I think of medicine and art, I think of surgeons and how they are able to create art through human anatomy. In Silva Casini's article, I found it fascinating how scholars, "[highlight] how the images are performative... the images instead constitute and transform them" (75). The structure that is within the human body has been questioned through art. I found it interesting how within this article the relationship between sound and form from an MRI is "grasped visually" (99).  Donald E. Ingber shares the relationship between human cells and architecture, exploring the help that tensegrity has had for artificial forms that need it. Many people have correlated the use of human anatomy in their artwork like the city lung skyscraper. While this is also to shed light on air pollution in China the incorporation of small details from the human body lungs, is quite fascinating.  I have always thought plastic surgery is an art. Surgeons study and practice for years h...

In many ways, art is influenced by robotics, but what we do in our everyday lives. The different printing technology that (he) was able to invent, had a very impactful meaning on the scientific method. Throughout the Industrial Revolution, the inventions that were made with the printing press started to become very noticeable. I thought it was interesting that it was brought up early on that  "Science, technology, and culture is always a two-way street" (Victoria Vesna) because we have seen many different connections that can relate to this exact statement throughout our readings and lectures.  (Industrialization Changes Life) (Newsweek) The art of robotics has become very advanced, which we see on campus with the food delivery service "Coco". There are many different uses for all robotics that we have been consumed by what will happen years down the line. LSU shares the relationship with robotics, art, and artificial intelligence to make this science work. Many mig...

The idea that from one perspective, art and science seem like they would have no correlation with one another, but math as well, has an incorporation with the two. The disciplines between art and science have been widely influenced by math as seen through lecture material and readings this week.  De-geniuses, by Buckminster Fuller, shared the knowledge of everyone as intellectuals through the education system and understanding the entirety of mathematics "being critical". The general concept of mathematics and art I learned this week was art that is behind the forms of intersecting solids where you often need to use mathematics to accurately "calculate or measure, dimensions, areas of volumes" (Victoria Vesna).  Edwin A. Abbott shared the assertion behind the differences in the art of sight recognition after it was no longer practiced within the university stating, "there was no great difference between them..." (Abbott Section 9). Aristocratic distinction...

This week's material gave an outlook that I had not yet quite considered with the ideas of art and science. Given the major difference between art and science itself, Snow shares literary intellectuals with scientists, "Between the two a gulf of mutual incomprehension-sometimes... hostility and dislike, but most of all lack of understanding" (Snow 4). It is interesting to see Snow's argument about two polar opposite groups, whereas I would not necessarily think of the division that art and science have created. The perspective of C.P. Snow's article "The Two Cultures and The Scientific Revolution" is within the title itself. There was a division within the "two cultures" and their way of solving problems of the world.  (Lifeology) I thought this image was a good depiction of what Snow was referring to with the division of these two groups. The way Snow makes the distinction between scientists and "non-scientists" based on the "in...
