Image result for math artIn lecture we were exposed to an interesting topic about “degenius”. Buckminster Fuller says,  ”Everyone is a genius but the process of living de-geniuses them.” I found this to be interesting because even as early as his time , he knew the education system was going to be a fail for humans , at least in America.

Image result for origamiThis week’s topic was about math and art. Some math subjects, such as geometry, have always been dependent on art since the start of their existence. Math allows for art to be a lot more detail and realistic because it’s based of off numbers. From this week’s readings , I learned about origami and its uniqueness. Of course I had heard of origami before , but I had no idea how much it was related to math , geometry to be specific. Origami is a perfect representation of the relationship between math and art. Why ? Because origami is geometry based art. To be successful in creating an origami piece, we have to know that geometry , and symmetry will be used.
Because of this week’s reading , I learned a lot more about perception. With a different perspective comes a different perception. A great example would be the term or concept referred to as “ Vanishing Point”. It is pretty self-explanatory , it is a point in which a line or object begins to fade based on where you are position. Your perspective has everything to do with this because where you are , determines what you will see.

Example of a “Vanishing Point” I found this picture to be eye catching and interesting because you can really see the concept of the vanishing point here , it is very vivid.

BioTech + Art I believe that human creativity is one of the most beautiful things in world. Without it, we wouldn't have a lot of the things we obtain today that make our lives easier. However, as we all know, nothing i perfect and every good thing does have its bad side. Human creativity can sometimes be our worst enemy. Why ? Because when creating things, we often don't take into account that what we produce can negatively affect our well being. We fail to be careful enough to minimize the chances of creating and distributing things that can harm us and therefore, human creativity should be limited when it affects a large amount of a population. In this week’s lesson, we discussed the mixture of the biotechnology and art worlds. Specifically, we went over the topic about GMOs also known as genetically modified organisms. I found this topic to be quite interesting because it is a prime example of human creativity that is both beneficial and non-beneficial. GMOs are e...

Event 2 This week, I was lucky enough to attend the End-of-the-Year show for the Media, Arts, and Technology department here at UCSB. The show consisted of graduate students showcasing their creations that included all three aspects. The showcase was fairly entertaining however all of my attention was put towards an interactive robot that one graduate student created. This robot, ( pictured on the left), is one that detects human-like sounds,& responds to them. It also has the ability to do a few human-like things. It can sing, play music, and record videos. In order for it to do these things, you must interact with it simply by standing in front of it and holding your arms out. This specific art piece ties into the section of Robotics + Art. During week 3, we focused on robots and their relation to art. The robot created for the end of the year show is a good example because not only was it an interacting robot, but it also produced art in the form of music and images. I...

NEUROSCIENCE + ART The relationship between neuroscience and art is quite intriguing. They go hand in hand. I believe that without neuroscience, or more specifically the brain, would be no art. There would be no creativity. In this week’s lesson we brought light to the significant role in which neuroscience plays in relation to art. In my opinion the most interesting section of this week’s lesson was the effects of certains drugs on the brain and the way in which they create art. The term that is now being used to describe the meshing of neuroscience and art is “neuroaesthetics”. As obvious as it is, we all know that art creation and perception comes from the brain and certain things can trigger that such as drugs. I found that Professor Vesna’s talk about different the drugs including, LSD & cocaine, and their effects in lecture was very interesting because it is fascinating how these drugs can make us create art out of our everyday surroundings. For example, the effect...
