Today, Giacomo Chiari from the Getty Museum gave a lecture on the science behind art conservation. This stimulated my reflection on how, although art and science are intricately related and dialogue between the two are absolutely necessary, they remain separate domains, though the border between the two may blur. The lecture reinforced in my mind […]
Day 4: Buckminsterfullerene and Tibetian Monks “An universal set of building rules seems to guide all organic structures.” That is how Victoria saw the world. That is how I want to see the world. That is how we should strive to see the world. After all, it may not be that abstract. Perhaps it’s our […]
Perception is a really intriguing concept to me. It is such a personal thing, yet ever evolving as society, science, and art does. Perception really encompasses all disciplines- it matters in science, in literature, art, history… It really connects to the idea of “imagining the impossible”-things we believe true now might be proven wrong by […]
Today was a pretty relaxed day. Our lecture was given by Victoria Vesna, whose discourse on her journey as an artist was interesting to me. I understand and feel the same way about what she said regarding her inner desire to create things that haven’t been done before. Her deep connection with sound in her art […]
Dr. Aydogan Ozcan demonstrated to us LUCAS imaging technology, which utilizes a mobile phone equipped with a lensfree imaging tool. Then, holographic “shadowlike” images of the patient’s blood can be sent from the phone, or uploaded to a computer, to specialists for analysis, who can then text back results. This can provide for portable and inexpensive […]
So today was veryyy cool . We got more into the art part of this and i really liked the labs we went to. We saw Olivia’s hair through the scanning electron microscope which went as fast as her splitting it off and then right into the machine. The technology was pretty cool, touch screen, […]
07.10.09 UCLA – To elaborate on the ideas of today, some of the midterm ideas were really interesting and most were actually practical. But I’d personally like to speculate further then practical. A hundred years ago a touch screen telephone (one such as the iphone) would not have even been thought of. A hundred years […]
Today the Sci | Art Nanolab received Giacomo Chiari, Chief Scientist of the Getty Museum. Being a student mostly interested in the sciences, it was a privilege to be able to hear him speak. We are nearly halfway with our program. For me, the line between science and art has been blurred. This is a […]
YESS its friday!! today was pretty chill and not as busy as earlier in the week. We had lectures this morning and then did out midterm presentations. There were some pretty good, unique ideas. Since we didn’t visit any labs today i’ve got no pictures for you. We then got to see the Desma kids […]
I’d like to say one thing. I have found that the sun seems to be in our faces each time we walk. As I walk to CNSI in the morning, I am often blinded by the sun rising from the east. Yet I have the same problem as I walk back to our dorm, feeling […]
