Event 2- Ellen Levy artist talk

-

 





This event was about art. Ellen Levy is an artist and a scholar. She has had a profound influence on science, technology and art intersecting.

She spoke about many topics. But what was interesting to me was the IG exhibitions part. she discussed the connection of art and pop culture and the shift in their relationships. This process provides a visually engaging platform for brands and influencers. It makes it much easier to showcase their products, trends and lifestyles. IG exhibitions reach a wider audience as well fostering a sense of community and cultural connection. She was a very interesting speaker, and I would recommend her because she has a vast catalogue of discussion and experiences.

  EVENT 3 Event 3 Santiago Torres - We are all made of starDust May 22 This was an interesting session. We learned about sound waves and even sound produced in space. Sound in space: it doesn't really "show up" the way it does on Earth. Sound needs a medium, like air or water, to travel through. Space is mostly a vacuum, which means there's no air or anything for the sound waves to travel through. So, if you were out in space, you wouldn’t hear anything because there’s no air to carry the sound waves. Like in sci-fi movies, they make space sound super dramatic with all those explosions and engine noises, but in reality, it's just silent. Astronauts communicate using radios because radio waves can travel through the vacuum of space. So, they’re hearing each other through their helmets and suits, not through the actual space around them.    It’s kind of wild to think about floating out there in complete silence.  The only sounds you’d hear would be from your own bod...

Week 1 TWO Cultures This week focused on the separation of two cultures. Reflecting on the intersection of the two cultures of science and art reminded me of the division between art and athletes, which are both sources of inspiration to many people. Both artists and athletes express themselves creatively through their skill and passion. The intersection of art and science is very similar.  However, most would consider themselves athletes and artists. I disagree. I believe it is where creativity and innovative ideas collide and sometimes crash to create new things in the world.  This is similar to Snow's statement, which discusses participating in two worlds. "There have been plenty of days when I have spent the working hours with scientists and then gone off at night with some literary colleagues." (Snow, P2.) I, too, visit both worlds as an athlete, an artist, and a player for me, intertwining to make the very art that excites people. I hang with artists to get their pe...

Week 4 | Medicine + Technology + Art |

 Week 4  This week, we examined how science and technology have influenced medicine. I learned in this module that Biotechnology has shifted how we see ourselves. We can now better understand our bodies, our biology, and what makes us who we are. Genetic engineering has opened up the possibilities for treating genetic diseases and enhancing our physical capabilities. Professor Vesna spoke about technology being implemented into hospitals at the beginning of the 20th century because medicine was considered an art. Doctors used fewer tools, and technology was not used. She took the time to explore X-rays. This video talks about the discovery of X-rays and how this process changed the world. X-rays were created 129 years ago by Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen!!!! Before that, we were not able to see details inside the body. Lastly, I did not know that the mathematical definition of the unknown is X-Ray   X-Ray   Biotechnology has shifted the way we understand our bodies. As ...
