Extra Credit Event #2

The Museum of Jurassic Technology


The entrance of the Museum of
Jurassic Technology. The lady at
the desk didn't want to take a
picture.

This event was a great experience because it made me realize how the topics me cover in class is actually applicable in real life especially two cultures. I say it relates so well to two cultures because at this museums showed so many different ways people made and invented technology way back. Plus, it brings in how people actually believed the art of love and animals could be controlled with making powder out of their remains or obtaining their eggs from animals. "The term “science” also entails people aiming high" (The Third Culture). Which people of all ages have been trying to do and it is shown within the museum as years grew people and their art and technology grew.



People believed this potion
could make bring love
to the one who's needs it.
David Bohm also mentions "creativity cannot be defined in words, but one can perhaps at least begin to indicate what it is in an oblique and indirect way, by asking why scientists are so deeply interested in their work" (On Creativity). This is probably the best quote I can have because it explains this museum exactly. Everyone having their own creativity to do what they think makes life special, so this is where cultures collide and make the ultimate beauty in the museum. So I did really appreciate the museum and what it had to offer and I would highly recommend it. This event would help benefit you as a human and not only for this class because it offers so many different cultures and their art works. 
 


The stone is believed to
keep calm seas and storms.

Week 8 NanoTech + Art

Week 8 NanoTech + Art This is a great example of how nanotech is explained with creations of its own. Maria. “BioTech 177.”  COLLECTIVE BREAD DIARIES: A TASTE OF PROTEST | UCLA Art | Sci Center + Lab , artsci.ucla.edu/biotech177/blog/?p=782. I learned many ideas this week, first off, what nanotechnology actually is and what the purpose of this technology is. The speech that most influenced me was the Paul Rothemund speech on TED Talk. When he speaks about how possibly folding the DNA to create a brand new strand it is actually so incredible and almost unimaginable to think of. Well not necessarily new but creating and altering someones looks or how they will turn out by just making one slight difference in it. Which can eventually lead to our human race creating the traits that we want in whatever substance it may be including us humans. Creating more art for the human race to invent and discover. All different types of molecular computers which Paul Rothemund spe

Week 9 Space + Art

Week 9 Space + Art The goal is to be on Mars very soon and put life there. Moore, Claire. “Research Paper: Life on Mars and the Challenge of Space Exploration.”  Citations by Questia , Lorraine Savage Http://Blog.questia.com/Wp-Content/Uploads/2014/09/q-Blog-Logo-300x47.Png, 5 Oct. 2015, blog.questia.com/2015/10/research-paper-life-on-mars-and-the-challenge-of-space-exploration/. This is one of my favorite topics in the entire world being that we don't know the universe around us and we are constantly learning about it everyday. What is so interesting is every planet is its own artwork in itself having different features from rocky to being a giant gas planet. " Every time we feel close to understanding Mars, new discoveries send us straight back to the drawing board to revise existing theories" (NASA). The solar system is a  masterpiece  having all the planets orbiting the sun and all rotating at the same time. Also the attempt to pull of zero gravity and cr

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
