Week 3 Blog Post

Growing up in a world full of fast growing technology, I was very fascinated to learn of Professor Vesna’s claim of how art is influencing these new electronic advancements.  Stated in Walter Benjamin’s article “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction”, he states how the nature of the repercussions that these two different manifestations—the reproduction of works of art and the art of the film have had on art in its traditional form”, meaning the two entities of film, and other forms of technology, have had an impact on art and art has influenced the development of electronics.  A movie in which technology has influenced society and the way artists create their work is Passengers with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence as the main actors.  The movie focuses greatly on the expansion of humanity on another planet with the use of a spaceship that can transport individuals lightyears into the universe without aging. Many creative, non-existent technologies were ...

Nanotechnology + Art Blog

Image
The topic for this week’s blog is nanotechnology and art. Very similar to the previous week’s topics, these two subjects compare in many different ways, such helping with medicine, understanding the laws of physics on a smaller level, and learning of how patterns and structures found in the environment can inspire many artists to continue with the research of nanotechnology.  Professor James K. Gimzewski spoke in all of the lecture videos for this week’s topic and I found many of the things he said very enlightening. For instance, he discussed how the idea and research of nanotechnology was founded mainly by a physicist named Richard Feynman. Richard Feynman's understanding of nanotechnology (even though it was not called this when he discovered it) was a very big turning point for how different, already existing aspects of life can be adjusted to better suit different forms of life in our world.   (Photo: Richard Feynman) Also introduced by Professor Gimzewski was De...

Event 1 Post

Attending my first event, “Eco-Centric Art + Science: Prophesies and Predictions”, for this class actually taught me many exciting ideas, concepts, and objects I have not known of before.  The first speaker I heard from was a woman named Linda Weintraub who taught me the incredible power of artwork in the scientific world.  For instance, she provided us a story about a female artist who was eager to spread awareness for the harmful effects taking prescription medication has on the animals in the environment because we release them into waterways through our toilets.  To help spread the awareness, she decided to have her artwork posted within bathroom stalls of an art exhibit so women could see the effects of their taking prescription medication go straight down the pipes to other species homes. I found her message of scientific research to be very effective due to her usage of her artwork and placement of it for the public to see.  Another speaker named James Gimze...
