Week 9- Space and Art

Image
Week 9       For me, as well as most kids I'm sure, space is fascinating. The endless possibilities and discoveries never cease to amaze. So much so, the first classed I ever enrolled for at UCLA was Astronomy 3. But while space mass everything seem huge, it also reminds you just how small things really are. Like in the power of 10s video, with a simple exponent, you can go from something as small as an atom to as large as a galaxy. This is why there was a need for exploration As many things went in the mid 1900s, the space exploration was really a 2 man race between the United States and Soviet Union. Here, a time magazine cover in the 1960's depicts the US and Soviet's battle to reach space first Although the Soviets were able to successfully put the first person in space, I had never heard their name before this lecture, but the names of American astronaut Alan Sheppard is forever engraved into our psyche. This shows just how much the U.S wanted to rema...

Week 8- Nanotechnology and Art

When I think of nanotechnology, the first thing that comes to mind is robots. Not the big ones, but the small ones. The ones that are so small, they could fit on your finger tip, as I have seen multiple times on science blogs, 60 Minutes, and other mediums of information. This is an artist representation of a possible nano-robot that could be created by the U.S. Air Force However, I do not often think about the common every day information that was presented in this weeks lectures and readings. Firstly, just thinking of a nanometer as 1 billionth of a meter, or as Professor Jim Gimzewski described it, the length of a glucose mol ecule, was simply mind-blowing. One of the quotes that Gimzewski discussed that really spoke to me was Richard Feyman's description that, " “The principles of physics, as far as I can see, do not speak against the possibility of  maneuvering  things atom by atom” Even  today, after all we already know about non-tech, the idea of taking th...

Week 2-Mathematics and Art

Week 2- Mathematics and Art            Undoubtably, mathematics has played a major impact on the influence in art (and as I discussed last week, science) in our lives. When things are created, there are very rarely done so in a care-free manner, but rather with extremely precision and focus to a task at hand.   One prime example of this could be Filippo Brunelleschi, who was an Italian architect, and a person that many considered to be the first modern engineer. In his mind, "there should be a single vanishing point to which all parallel lines in a plane, other than the plane of the canvas, converge". This belief is one that has been taken to heart by many which lead to some of the most revolutionary changes in the way we live our lives. Primary, the smart phone. The "iPhone" or what we now know as the iPhone 1, was revolutionary in its design Never had there been a device that was oriented around a single point. But that it what ...
