Over these past two weeks, I have learned so many new things. Before coming to this program I had no idea what nanotechnology was and how it is being used in the world today. It was also very interesting to see how the different professors and instructors have used nanotechnology. I was especially amazed by all the different projects that Victoria has done over the years. I really like how she implemented both science and art into her work. No one every really thinks to put the two subjects together because they seem so unrelated but in reality they coexist with each other. It is really easy to think that there is no artistic aspect to science but in fact much of science that is created has an artistic view.
This program has really helped me to view things from both perspectives. I have never been much of an art person and I have been able to see that what I do through science can be viewed as art. An example would be through the two experiments that we did on tuesday. With the ferrofluids we were able to create science by making the liquid that was attracted to the magnet but at the same time when the liquid spiked up from the magnet it gave it an artistic flare. Also with the photo lithography, we used science to create the artistic design.
This program has really opened my eyes to many new things and I have learned so much through all I have experienced here.
