  In this event, The Brain + Art, I learned from Mark Cohen about how the disciplines of art and science intertwine. Cohen is an entrepreneur, scientist, and inventor who teaches at UCLA. In the event, he speaks of interesting concepts including how neuroscience has made way for us to understand art to the next level through which there are brain mechanisms that lead us to take in sensory information differently. These mechanisms have been evolutionarily adaptive as we perceive the world in a meaningful way. Cohen’s paintings, like the one below, show how our brain mechanisms allow us to be able to fill in the lines which are adaptive as our brain can fill in the gaps with the long grass as it resembles the black stripe patterns of a tiger.  Screenshot from Mark Cohen The Brain + Art Additionally, these paintings from Pablo Picasso like the one below show a woman sleeping. This artwork is quite different from regular paintings as your brain is able to allow you to perceive the...

In the event, "Motion as Sentience and the Pygmalion Complex,” carried out by Toni Dove we witness how robotics and art are intertwined to provide us a different perspective on how technological products are made possible through our artistic imaginations. In the robot artistic product shown in the image below we see how there are robotic screens and LED costumes that show the linkage between robotics and art. The artistic imagination is so crucial to new forms of technology that costumes can be made from LEDs with the electronic device becoming wearable (Dove). In the time of mechanical reproduction, we see how art takes form as technological structures such as the robotics (Benjamin). Screenshot from Toni Dove , Art|Sci Center + Color, Light, Motion  In this image, we see how we can make a robot come alive as a human. We can see how the robot mirrors human body motion. We can  see the potential robot art has in illustrating the physical human form. The technologica...
