Week 9: Space + Art

I attended a Zoom event about space and art and thought the relationship between the two was very fascinating. I have always thought about space art with so many different attributes of the two intertwining together. Using space as an experimental territory, Coded Utopia, the Makrolab project with many different interior and exterior designs to make space, an art form. Discussing and using sculptures, art, and performance through the media allowed the people in collaboration with this project to evolve and display in museums. The performances that included theatrical gravity were the most fascinating to do outside research on.

Looking at the different works from Leonardo's Space Art, the concept of a graphic design used two race cars for photography to produce in a museum. Over the years, the artist has found new ways to make approaches to their art with modernized technology. Hearing and reading through the different possibilities of what artists and scientists have in mind for space, visits a new perspective of how an audience can engage and be part of this artwork.

Artists and scientists work together to learn and understand more exploration of space. The image below shows a sculpture that was built in space and placed on Mars, therefore together artists and scientists had to work together to create these artistic sculptures.

Week 2: Math + Art

Image
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...

Event 2: Cosmological Elements

Image
On May 5th, I attended the third session of cosmological elements. This session focused on floating civilization which I thought was really interesting because it wasn't something I had quite thought of. Bringing together art and space science through astronomical data and elements and in this session we were in a standpoint of scientific perspective while looking at different building blocks.  (WUR) One argument that stood out to me in this session was how the complexity of scientific understanding frames knowledge and thinking as well as policies and decision-making. The different exhibits were fascinating, but one I really liked was "The Man in the Moon". The idea that moon geese are part of cosmological elements was really interesting because of the way they were incorporated. In the exhibition, we were shown what was built with the geese. This was also a thought experiment and showed how we can connect these other parts of life when we are thinking about space.  (New...
