Today was the last day of camp, and I can’t believe it is already over. I feel like I just got here about 3 days ago. I had no idea what to expect when I came into this program and I had no idea what nanotechnology even was. Now that I’ve experienced these new ideas […]
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 […]
For the last day of the week, things did not turn out too bad, nor did they exactly turn out good. The day started out with a lecture by Victoria which turned out to be more of a biography and I am not much of a person who likes to listen to someone else’s life […]
Today we had another lecture given by my very own counselors, Rita and Gao. They talked to us about shape and how it was applied to different aspects of the world as we know it. The categories within shape were nature, engineering, and art. The most important thing that I absorbed from the lecture was […]
Today was another explorative day at CNSI. One of the lectures I found interesting was the one on light and how there were different perceptions on it as the study began to grow. The lecture then shifted to a more art related matter involving paintings and the substances used to create and preserve them. This […]
Today was the day that I really got a feel of how the rest of the camp would be like and would be able to develop a more comfort feel. After falling asleep on almost every lecture the past two days, I figured it would continue until the end of the program. Although they all […]
The past two weeks here at Sci |Art Camp have flown by so quickly. Tomorrow I will leave this place with a bounty full of new knowledge and a much more open mind about the connection between Science and Art. I will apply the new things I learn when I return to school in the […]
A blind photographer. This is seemingly oxymoronic. But, apparently, possible through the help of tech gadgets. Take for instance, Alex Dejong, featured photographer in Wired Magazine’s article, “Blind Photographers Use Gadgets to Realize Artistic Vision.” Dejong is a professional photographer who lost his eyesight due to a brain tumor. He, however, did not let this […]
The Sci | Art 2009 program was a very interesting new experience for me. I’d never gone to this kind of summer program and especially coming alone for two weeks on a college campus. I wasn’t sure what to expect or for that matter how much we would do and see. But they had everything planned […]
“Sign up for a summer camp at UCLA or UCSD!” yelled my mom one December night. I somewhat reluctantly searched for a science/math/medical camp at the chosen colleges that I could attend without disrupting summer school or any other activities I would be having during the summer. Google Search: Sci|Art Nanolab Intrigued by the description […]
