Week 4 MedTech + Art

Week 4 MedTech + Art This is a image of someone who has had their clavicle repaired. https://www.howardluksmd.com/orthopedic-social-media/broken-clavicle-three-things-you-need-to-know/ We have all seen someone with surgical scars or have had them ourselves but there is a lot of medical technology that goes into this process. Myself included in these surgical processes. I have broke my collarbone in 2 places at the same time so I have what you see above plus a plate to keep it all together because my break was so bad. Without doing the x-ray on my collarbone they would have no clue what the plan of attack would be when we entered the surgery room.  This is a surgical reconstruction of a shoulder that has been. http://www.shoulderkneedoc.com/shoulderdislocations.htm The most influential readings this week was definitely Mission Eternity because of how they have people testing their own bodies for the betterment of the future of medical technology. This website gives so

Week 3 Robotics + Art

Week 3 Robotics + Art A robot is being programmed to garden. http://bigthink.com/dr-kakus-universe/advancements-in-computing-power-and-machine-intelligence-result-in-steady-progress-in-robotics The more and more we as a world gain new and improved technology is not only improves lives but can completely alter the way we do our everyday tasks. Everyday scientists experiment and play with nature and our biological background with the hopes for one to possibly become mobile once again to possibly help them after an accident occurs involving losing a limb or even being born with a disability. These biological advancements are being created daily to strive to help those who were affected in some way and won't be the same as everyone around them, which is why they created prosthetics.  A man with a brand new prosthetic is capable of doing normal tasks. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bionic-deka-arm-mind-controlled-prosthetic-approved-by-fda/ We have all seen movi

Event #1

Just having a great time at the Hammer Mueseum The Hammer museum was in a gigantic building with pieces of art very spread out to make you appreciate every one of them for their individual creativeness. These works of art are all different in their own way and they all give off a sense of complexity which makes them incredible to gaze at while you read their background story. These works of art also make you think that technology isn't always necessary for advancement or improvement rather its nice just to have the basic drawing that amazes you. So I believe that this will help me when making my midterm project in regards to possibly making an old idea more relevant once again. This picture demonstrates the ability to be such a complex photo but look so simple. I would recommend going to the museum if you are into thinking beyond the picture in front of you and lookin into the further meaning behind the artwork. This place really brings out the inner Van Gogh and makes

Week 2 Math + Art

Week 2 Math + Art This picture describes how the arm muscles work and the math involved with them. We as humans fail to realize the    amount of art, science and math  around us as we go through life. I learned through the readings this week how important  these interconnected  parts of life  are. Math affects art and science in  every way possible from the  angles that our bodies move and  the amount of velocity one can  produce.          All of these which started with the realization of how much effect math has on art and science. Math allows images to be detailed with calculations to an exact later influencing how art and science it done. I was stunned to know that math was not approached when it came to art rather was shunned away and kept to 2 dimensional pictures. Math creates photos that were never thought of before with being able to know angles and how much influence they have over paintings. Linda Dalrymple Henderson mentions how

Week 1 Two Cultures

(A football team uses the technology around them to become a better overall unit.) WEEK 1 Two Cultures  The ever present changing factor in life is technology. We see it all around us with machinery taking peoples jobs and changing the way people do their jobs today.          The authors of both of these articles mention many different ideas that are pretty interrelated. In "Toward a Third Culture: Being in Between", Victoria Vesna describes ur lives as all being intertwined in some way because of the use of technology whether it be using the internet for research or posting interesting facts on the web, we use it for many different purposes. What also leads most to use the technology is the fact we will see change and instantly some article on the internet or new update for a phone will occur to make it the best it can possibly be.
