Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince was an extremely good representation of the fusion of art and science. Magic allows this connection because magic must follow the rules of science, but magic allows these rules to be expressed through an art form. Even the act of the wizards using magic is artistic and it […]
Over these past two weeks, I have learned so many new things. Before coming to this program I had no idea what nanotechnology was and how it is being used in the world today.
As our final night comes to an end, I feel both excited, and depressed to be leaving. The experiences have been like no other, I have felt before. I leave with a smile on my face and the flu, but let’s focus on the positive. Every lab was filled with fascinating topics and technology that […]
It’s always easy for one to imagine what an experience may be like, but until it’s actually been experienced, you never really know exactly how it’ll all feel or turn out. This is the perfect way to describe this entire Sci Art program. Upon applying and being accepted into the camp, I really didn’t […]
Today is the first day we’re something hands on!!!!!! Hooray! After another extremely stimulating lecture which once again cut down the barriers of art in science we began working in our groups. Today was especially special because our group decided, after much deliberation, to change our final project idea. We changed our idea into one […]
Day one after a long, refreshing, and fun weekend. We visited the Getty which was an extremely interesting place. They had an open photography exibit which was extremely interesting to look at. The building was almost more interesting than the art itself. After our stimulating experience at The Getty we heeded down to Venice beach […]
As my final day here at the UCLA SciArt Nanolab concluded, I began to contemplate over the many things I have learned over this course. The plethora of knowledge I have acquired from this course ranges from the past to the future, from simple to complex. At first, I was unsure of whether I […]
Two weeks have past and Sci/Art Summer Program has ended. A part of me is happy about this; no more lectures in the early morning and no blogs or projects to worry about. However, another part of me feels sad. I will definitely miss all of my new friends and our counselors and teachers we […]
The first part of today’s lecture was focused on the pro’s and con’s of the inventions and ideas of today. Examples used were bombs, guns and knives, T.V. and internet. All of these can be used to hurt or help depending on the situation and intention. Most people characterize bombs , guns, and knives to […]
Today we had a short lecture given by Jim Gimzewski about what he’s done and what he hopes to see us accomplish. His life’s work is an example of how art and science go together and what you can do with the knowledge of both. When I started this program I was curious to […]
