I think it was rather fitting that on this day early into our Art-Sci camp we learned about microscopes. After all, it is only with the knowledge and understanding of microscopes that I believe one can truly appreciate how our world functions in its extremely basic level. I came to this conclusion as I stood […]
Today was the first day I saw a direct connection between art and science. Regardless of the fact that it was the most obvious and straightforward correlation one we’ve witnessed so far, the message of this program has finally settled in my head. A skeptic in the beginning, I can now see that […]
As part of our sci-fi film series, we watched the movie “The Butterfly Effect” this evening. This movie was unique in that its plot is centered around the character Evan Treborn’s ability to travel back in time. Evan, who suffered severe “blackouts” as a child under moments of high stress, finds his diaries depicting the […]
In our very first lesson, we learned about visualization in art and science and how this helps us to “see the impossible.” In art, different mediums may be used in order to convey a specific mood or to support the subject of the piece. Some of these mediums are gelatin silver print, oil on canvas, […]
Nano Bots for Cancer Nano bots have many different uses within the body. A very useful nano bot is the one they use to deliver cancer medication directly at the source of the cancer. This makes delivering the cancer medication much more effective. When one has cancer, most of the time they use a […]
Being very interested in film, I have been quite drawn to the genre of science fiction. However, we as a society are quite drawn to the genre for, I believe, science fiction is the harbinger of innovation in technology. The genre itself sparks so many ideas in one’s mind. Unlike the genres of fantasy, drama, […]
Nano Silver Nano silver is used in everyday society to keep things clean and fresh. Nano silver is used in socks to keep them from not stinking as much. They also put in toothpaste to aid in plaque clean up! In my project we thought of putting nano silver inside casts to keep bacteria […]
The Nandage Our project idea for the final was the Nandage. The Nandage is a very portable, convenient bandage that can be used treat sprains and breaks quickly and efficiently. The Nandage is great for sports accidents or if you badly injure yourself and you need something to keep the bone in […]
After learning about nanotechnology and its applications, students formed groups of three to five and brainstormed about new, unique, and somewhat “impossible” projects for the future. All projects utilized the science of nanotechnology. My project, with Sophia, Dylan, Emma, and Zack dealt with a futuristic musical instrument. Our project is a culmination of art and […]
