Today we took the time to work and finalize our projects. We are proposing a paint that contains nanobots that assemble themselves by means of nano radio receivers. These nanobots behave similarly to nanoclusters called opals. These opals reflect specific wavelengths proportional to their spacing that produce colors based on their orientation and size. However, opals are limited in their applications due to their limited ranges of color expression. We borrowed this property of opals and applied it to our own application of nanobots so that we could produce any color. In addition to today’s activities, we were given a short lecture about GMOs and their effects. We were shown pictures of lab rats and organs that were genetically altered by the DNA of modified foods. Their effects were devastating on both the inside and outside of the body. For example, affected organisms were shown to have severe growth deficincies as well as irregular cell structures.
Sadly our last lecture was this morning as was our last “Look Around You” video. The past couple of weeks have gone by so quickly. We went to the premiere of Harry Potter, Venice Beach, and the Getty Museum. 
I met new people from around the country and learned about the connections between science and art. I did not really know what to expect from this course when I first registered online. What did it mean to “imagine the impossible” and to “make connections between cutting edge scientific research, popular culture and contemporary arts” (Institutes)? Looking back on this I realize it was all there. I just did not understand what it meant to connect art with science as I do now.
