Week 8: NanoTech and Art Nanotechnology on a blood cell  Nanotechnology is a complex yet very exciting field. Through this form of technology, scientist are  able to insanely small amounts of chemical  vapor which includes being able to detect nano- particles  and nano-materials. Thus meaning that  we are able to manipulate particles in the world, possibly   making a small change here or there  creating new forms of certain particle values.  Nanotechnology has never been a topic that I have been interested in. I believe that it is to complex and complicated.  Nanotechnology is one of there areas of science that makes my head spin. However, after researching, I have realized that nanotechnology is used in many different areas of science. For example, nanotechnology is used in the medicine to help find damaged cells or signs of early cell disease. The medical field is recently been leaning towards nanotechnology ...

Event 3: Noise Aquarium  Hello all! Classmate and I at the event  In this weeks event, the focus of this workshop was to acknowledge that Plankton are consuming micro-plastics and this is tearing apart the food chain and environment of the ocean. This experiment was very interesting because I have never been to anything like it. We, as a class, were focusing on the nano level and micro level of this project. From plankton consuming micro plastic to the nano systems of the project and sound and even the slight movements that were created when saving the plankton in the art experiment. As I attended I learned so much about the ocean and whats at risk. I spoke with Professor Vesna after the show was over and asked her why this was so important to her and her calling. After speaking with her, my class mater and I had an amazing conversation. Seeing these plankton and hearing the underwater pollution was quite disturbing.  Biologist and marine biologist hav...

Week 7: Neurosci + Art Neurons  As a Psychology major, I find this to be extremely interesting. I personally have never found art to be associated with the brain but now being able to see to common variables through other art works, such as the human body and art, the brain is also included. I am constantly memorized by the actions of the nervous system, as the nervous system has full control over the signals sent to each nerve in the human body. I am also interested in the way that the brain communicates with other areas of the body, therefore I find this topic very interesting. Neuroscience is a tremendously complicated and beautiful science. Through Neuroscience we are able to detect how neuron fire through the brain. The brain is connected to varies parts of the body allowing certain neurons sent to areas of the body. Neuroscience is describe as the science of the nervous system which is connected to the brain. The nervous system is one of the most important ...

Week 6: Bio Tech and Art  Many of our foods today are extremely tasty and are visual pleasing, however there is a system in which creates and maintains these interesting looking foods. For example, Bananas are one of the most publicly known fruits. This fruit is used in a million different ways and for many different meals and snacks. In my personally experience I really enjoy bananas with almond butter or peanut butter with honey on top of a rice cake or toast. I think this is an amazing breakfast of snack, yet there is more to a banana then meets the eye. A banana is a genetically modified fruit, meaning it has been tampered with in order to ensure its values. Have you ever notices a banana with a seed? No, because they have been genetically modified to be represented without them. Within the United States, bananas are one of the many fruits that have been mutated to recreated. Due to the ability of the advanced technology in biology we are able to make these miner and dras...

Week 4 :Medicine/Technology/Art I have a strong connection with the medicine and technology. As I want to become a Doctor, I am rather interested with anything medical. I have had three surgeries in the past that have made me very interested in the field itself. I am truly mesmerized with the idea of using technology with in the medical field. By using different technology, the field is able to advance in ways that are amazing. The amount of research that goes into the form of medicine is insane. I believe the medical is its own art form. For me personally, I have experienced this art form first hand. When is was younger I under went a reconstructive knee surgery. Within this surgery, they had to use a cadaver to create a new ligament. The thought of having to be so meticulous and precise excites me. When Doctor is preforming surgery on a person, it's like they are recreating or creating a new part of the body. The body itself is an art piece, therefore when doctors must r...

Week 3: Robotics & Art Technology and Art are one of those things that I have never really go hand and hand. I believe that technology is made to help our society function in a more functional manner yet technology can also make different art forms. I know there are many artist that are constantly using technology to create their own art pieces. Game of Thrones  For example, in the television series Game of Thrones, there is technology that it used to create an entire world of fictional art. The production and creativity that goes into making one hour long show takes up to three weeks of just filming. Down below is a photograph of how the fictional world for the series comes alive. The majority of the production is green screen, therefore they can create an alternate world. The Game of Thrones Tv series has a 15 million dollar budget so it is able create its worlds. The new media age of creating real life green screen and technology has increased the abilities of the p...
