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 body and equipment.

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 2 Blog DA One of the highlights was learning about Charles Csuri. I loved that he was an athlete who pursued art. He used the skills he learned from being a football captain, such as determination, problem-solving, and winning, to help catapult him to be known as the father of computer art. He innovated and inspired computer animation. His vision led to the advances we have seen today in art and technology. artnews.com/art-news/news/charles-csuri- Accessed 4/7/2024 www.charlescsuri.com accessed 4/7/2024 Robotics, as Professor Vesna suggested in her recording, is in everything. Mechanism and the influence of mass production are evident. We look at the printing press and welding assembly lines with robotic arms. All of these areas are influenced by mathematics, art, and science. We learned this week that mathematics has directly influenced art within the areas of linear perspective. We see this in Marc Franz's work on Vanishing Points. Below, we see how this drawing creates an...

Robotics and Art-Week 3

  Week 3 This week, I learned that robots and art are connected through robotic art, which explores the intersection of technology and creative expression. Robotic art uses robot tools to explore new forms of expression, like that of Dirk the Homeless Robot. This project challenged the traditional norms of art and pushed boundaries, adding real things like human movements, interactions, and automation. . Dirk the homeless robot/www.electric-circus.eu Wong 2017. Walter Benjamin began speaking about mass production systems long ago. He acknowledges that art has changed over time and has been influenced by changing techniques and society's demands. What's interesting is that he wrote this in 1935 during the age of mechanical production. He could already foresee that art would continue to change because technology was advancing. I wonder what he would think now with the advancements in technology and science and how these advancements have influenced art. Arduino boards a motherboa...
