Materials: Coming to Life While life has been long lauded for its resilience, it is often facile to overlook the seemingly simple mediums that serve as the key to its continuation. This is why materials are integral to culture, life, and science. As ambiguous as “materials” may sound, their relevance to mankind and the advancement […]
Over the past few days we have been talking about the relationship between science and art. For one thing, we learned that the relationship between science and art is inclusive. In fact, during the renaissance period, people often held talents in both art and science. Back then the notion of left brain and right brain […]
I’ve often wondered if there was a connection between art, science, and even history. I am thrilled to have discovered that there indeed is. Hearing of how people in Europe incorporated nanoparticles in their lives in one of my lectures blossomed my interest on the subject. After some research, I found that recently announced […]
07.09.09 UCLA- Everything in this world deteriorates. However we try our best to preserve some of the great masterpieces for the children of tomorrow. Surprisingly, art is one of the harder things to keep preserved according to guest speaker Giacomo Chiari, chief scientist of the Getty Museum. It seems that its an everyday problem figuring […]
My presentation group brainstormed and decided on an idea today. When I first heard about how the presentations were to be done and what they were suppose to be about I was less than enthused. Once my group finally picked a topic and started really going in-depth with it, I became genuinely After a lot […]
Today we did an introduction into nanotechnology. I came to UCLA with extremely limited knowledge on the topic so I am glad that we had this lecture to start of the program. We also had a lecture about the correlation between art and science and even though I am beginning to see similarities between the […]
So today was a pretty intressting day. We learned more about renweable energy sources and the impact on how us human beings live our everday lives. I think science that has a huge effect on the average person is definitely the most important. To better the lives of the normal person is to better the […]
Today we learned a lot about the science behind contemporary art, such as differing color lights and other effects. We learned about three artists in particular: Ksuama, Flavin and Eliasson, whose artistic pieces are characterized by pintilism, lights, and physicality, respectively. This lecture really sparked my attention because I have seen Dan Flavin’s work firsthand […]
Thursday, July 9, 2009 Today we had a guest speaker named Giacomo Chiari who talked about art conservation. It is devoted to conserving and even restoring art for the preservation of cultural heritage. Chiari works at the Getty Museum, a famous art museum in Los Angeles. It was a real eye opener for the techniques […]
Nanomedicine demonstrates the future of our well-being and health. It is by definition “the medical application of nanotechnology.“ Nanomedicine will employ engineered molecular machine systems to address medical problems, and will use molecular knowledge to maintain and improve human health at the molecular scale. This useful and new technique of medicine offers tools for […]
