Week 2 Math+Art Blog

In lecture, it was described how mathematics is the formation of numbers and how they can fit amongst each other. Using signs, symbols, formulas, etc. During the active times of Mesopotamia, the Babylonians used math as a way to describe art in meaningful and structural ways. In addition, the video Playing at the intersection of interactivity, math, and code by Nathan Selikoff, it was interesting how they combined art and math with the digital clock by how it vibrated to the active sounds present. These concepts are easy ways to combine to the two for the public to interact with. In the Charles Csuri resource, it displayed the combination of art and math by his artistic ways in making art that resembled numbers and symbols. 

A piece of art that helped me gain a perspective on the meaning of it comes from the Kinetic Sculpture. This art piece helps you understand the effect of each piece present while incorporating 714 metal spheres hanging from the ceiling, making it operate freely.  https://artcom.de/en/?project=kinetic-sculpture

I learned that art and math are incorporated with one another more often than we typically would expect. This was shown on a very broad scale, dating back centuries ago, aligning it to ways that helped establish the basics of math or even to modern day with just art pieces that are detailed with different various of math. 

The juxtaposition of art and math can stem back thousands of years ago, and because of this it has made it possible to compare the similarities between the two. By incorporating shapes, numbers, symbols, together, this is all components of art that has been shown in relation to math.

Week 4 Medicine + Technology + Art

Image
In the realm where art and medical technologies meet, forward-thinking artists are pushing the limits of creativity and technology through innovative projects. These projects reflect in depth procedures as an artistic form. As displayed in lecture, Eduardo Kac and Drew Berry are acceptable among these forms of art through their interesting projects that replicate the artistic expression with the mix of medicine, technology, and art. https://www.artpal.com/barrowwd?i=237959-27 This fascinating use of medical images to create aspects that demonstrate the relation of science and art through technology piqued my interest as this can be looked at through the MRI machine. These technological advancements have a similar relation to a different form of art as displayed in the lecture . A Clearer Picture: State-of-the-Art Imaging Technology at the Pavilion Is Improving Diagnostics and Advancing Medical Research - Penn Medicine It was interesting to hear the overall effect that MRI machines hav

Week 7 Neuroscience + Art

Image
During this week, neurology seems to be a two-dimensional field of study including the nervous system. But as the readings for Week 7 showed, neuroscience is not limited to studying the nervous system and the human mind. It is clear that neuroscience has roots and branches throughout all spheres of human existence, including society, culture, and the arts. Frazzetto and Anker define "Neuroculture" in their book as the intersection of terminology, data, and understanding from neuroscientific research with our culture (Ex: literature, art, and media). As neuroscience develops, the understanding of other people's minds grows, which has an impact on culture. When modern artists apply neuroscience concepts to their creations, employing certain techniques to define specific feelings through neural imaging, this is known as neuroculture. This subject is covered by Howard Gardner in his book "Art, Mind, and Brain" when he discusses multiple intelligences. He claims that

Event 2 Blog

While at the "Rhizosphere: The Big Network of Small Worlds" event, this helped me understand the relationship between education, science, and arts. Plant social networks and their cultural implications are the subject of this research, which is a collaboration between Adam Mickiewicz University (UAM) and the University of Arts in Poznań (UAP). The event was an awareness of the symbiosis, diversity, and interdependence present in both natural and human ecosystems through interdisciplinary workshops and artworks. The Rhizosphere project explained how interdisciplinary collaboration can yield novel insights. During the exhibition tour, we saw how scientists and artists work together to explore the World Wide Web and were given examples of how various approaches can improve research. The idea behind the World Wide Web is that plant communication and resource sharing are similar to social interactions between people. It explains how important collaboration and support amongst one
