Some of the stuff we did was mindblowing. I couldnt believe one single laboratory took up as much energy as all of westwood. The technology was incredible. We first started of the day with shapes. We looked at shapes in nature and science. What freaked me out was how sounds could have shapes. Nature demonstrated […]
It has often been said that those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it. In the past, the preservation of history was often left to the wealthy who had the means and the motivation to establish and accumulate collections of various art forms that, in themselves, served as recollections of […]
Today’s busy schedule gave everyone a longing for sleep, even without the walking. Just like every other day, we started off with a lecture on Shapes from Rita and Gau. The lecture began with shapes of nanomaterials and their functions; and then moved into shapes in art. To start off, despite the common belief, atoms […]
YAY IT’S MIDTERM DAY! Personally, out of all the presentations, I believe mine is the best. Just kidding, I became really interested Lily and Eddie’s Nano Monuments. I feel that could be really useful for artists who want to study works of art in detail and want to be able to recreate them or with […]
Today we visited a plasma research lab. This was very, very cool. When we walked in I didn’t know what to expect cause I barely knew what plasma was. I learned that plasma is a partially ionized gas, in which a certain proportion of electrons are free rather than being bound to an atom or […]
A microscope is an instrument for viewing objects that are too small to be seen by the naked or unaided eye. The science of investigating small objects using such an instrument is called microscopy. The term microscopic means minute or very small, not visible with the eye unless aided by a microscope. Microscopes […]
This past Saturday, I was given the opportunity to watch the DESMA final presentations. And I must admit, everyone of the students there did an incredible job, especially in expressing their creative and artistic abilities. The first part of the presentation was on graphic design. There was a total of twenty-four students in graphic design […]
On Saturday, I went on my very first trip to the Getty Museum. While I was there, I happened to chance upon the photo gallery of Paul Overbridge, and to my surprise, there was something to be learned about science there- the carbro process. The carbro process is the combining of carbon-based pigments and silver […]
The Butterfly Effect was a sci fi movie that we watched on day 4. The main character, Evan has a disorder which causes him to block out certain memories. Evan’s dad also had suffered from this disease which made him end up in a psychiatric ward. Evan experiences certain traumatic circumstances that causes his blacks […]
Friday started off with a lecture given by Victoria Vesna. Seeing and learning about some of the amazing projects she has put together really showed what amazing works can come from the collaboration of people in the art and science fields. The next part of the day was fun and helpful. I loved hearing the […]
