Week 9: Space + Art

Week 9: Space + Art



Texts, Phone calls and emails all go up into space and then come back down so that we can retrieve them.  Space is used so that we are able to connect with each other. pace is also the inspiration of many different. Outer space is so appealing to artist because its full of the unknown. Artist are able to create what they believe is space or the unexplored world. 

I have never thought about the travel that a text message go through before we are able to see it. Space is very overwhelming to think about becasue of how vase space is. In the lecture, Professor Vesna spoke about the past of space.

Space Art 
Space has been under research for years now so that we have a better understanding what happens within space and also what its made up of. For example only 4% of space has been explored therefore there is 96% that is still waiting to be discovered. Space is similar to the ocean in that regard. Both space and the ocean both take up the majority of the world. There is way more ocean and space then land. Another example is that only 1% of the worlds ocean has been explored. Therefore, 99% of the worlds ocean has yet to be explored. Through all this research there is so much that we as a world have no knowledge of. The USA is constantly trying to find whats beyond.

Galaxy in Space 
Spacecrafts have traveled to each moon in our galaxy over the past century. We have also explored two of the dwarf planets while also coming in contact with many comets and asteroids. W as a nation have only traveled to neighboring planets just like Mars. We focus on discovering other signs of life on different planets. We do this to gain knowledge. To see if we are the only ones in this galaxy. Maybe there are others on different planets. I think that the art can show this and create a beauty of the unknown. Artist are able to take advantage of this opportunity t see beyond the nothing of the universe.

    Hey Veronica! I liked your blog this week, and specifically how much you talked about what you previously understood compared to now. I also thought about how we know so little about the ocean and it's comparison to space. I also forgot to think about what space means for electronic communication, so thanks for reminding me about it! I also liked how you connected people's need for knowledge to the kind of art that falls under this week's topic.

Week 4 :Medicine/Technology/Art

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 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 1: Two Cultures VeeronicaTDESMA9

Week 1: Two Cultures These article are all about culture and how they shape our thoughts.  (The combining of cultures) Within "Toward a Third Culture: Being In Between," Vesna explains the views of two cultures. Vesna goes into detail of how thinking in different ways becomes our culture. Later Vesna explains how we are able to slowly emerge into a new culture by thinking in different or unlikely ways. For example, we are already divided into different cultures when we think. Given that our society has been sculpted into believing that there are two different ways, science and history. North vs. South Campus  This sort if division is see all over the word, yet, it is also closer to us then we believe. With UCLA we accept this difference in culture. When meeting someone new, we often ask, "Are you North or South Campus?" This is a prime example of the division. We have to choose what culture we would like to be apart of. Knowing a person that is...
