WEEK 9 : SPACE + ART







Space is something that has been around for longer than our earth. Until this day we still don’t know the exact nature or extent of space as it is an on going research and exploration for scientist with the help of robotics. Being that outer space is so vast and unknown we don’t have the technology to safely travel anywhere so we use robotics to traverse these planets in order to find more information about them. We also use them to see what kind of environment they have compared to our earth. The race to space all started with the launch of the first satellite by the Soviet Union name Sputnik in 1957. With the help of artist, writers and musicians who dreamed of humans in space was what fed the space age. Artist believe that they play a key role in future space activities and being able to communicate that to people in a way they can understand. Space art is also known as astronomical art that shows the wonders of the universe. Unlike other genre, space art is newer than others. Many artist use the genre to predict things that have not yet been discovered in out space in order to help with the exploration of space and things that could possibly exists.

She is director of Cultivamos Cultura, the leading institution dedicated to experimental art in Portugal. She also created Ectopia, Femeeting, and a couple other organizations. All the organizations are dedicated to facilitate the collaborative work between artists and scientists. I was very impressed how many organizations Marta was able to create and still currently manage, all in order to help out artists and sciences express their work. I never thought there could be such a close connection between science and art as some of the pieces that Marta showed us. Once of the pieces that intrigued me the most was ecosystem in a glass jar in the first picture below in upper right corner. The fact that the ecosystem can grow a mushroom year in and year out is pretty extraordinary. One of the biggest take aways...

WEEK 8 : NANOTECH + ART

Image
  Nanotechnology is “use of matter on atomic, molecular, and supramolecular scales for industrial purposes.” Something that most people have only herd of or seen on sifi movies where they can actually be seen because there is so many of them. However we see nanotechnology on a daily biases even though we have no idea that it is there. There are many different industries that use nanotechnologies in their products in order to make them better. Some of these industries include the food, agricultural, automotive, and medical industries. Food industries use them to give products more nutrients or flavors than they would without them. The agricultural industries use them to make fruits and vegetables last longer so they can stay on shelfs at store without going bad before the consumer can buy them take them home and eat them. The medical industries has been able to use them to target specific cells or tissue in the body while avoiding the healthy cells. This has been one of the biggest ...
