Event 3 | Art|Sci Center | Color, Light, Motion



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).

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 technological devices taking human anatomical structure are very fascinating as it gives insight into the tremendous creations art creativity can produce. Similar to how we learned about robotics and art taking place with Japanese robots. Industrial creations has led to engineers and robotic artist to create human-like robots. Japanese engineers have even made robots that assist disabled people (Vesna).

In this image, we can see how we replicate our motor movements through robots. Our scientific knowledge of kinetic movement leads to constructing these robots (Dove). We learn in science and use our creativity how to create these technological products. Robots play a role in giving us a familiar way to depict ourselves through technological artistic creations and products. These technological products build around how the human body performs which is a very fascinating way to use our artistic creativity to create machines. I recommend this event as it will provide you the opportunity to see how robotics takes form in art through costumes and robots that imitate human like form.

Week 9 | Space + Art | Livier Monarrez

Image
  Artistic works have been established to show space technologies. The intertwined of space and art are critical to showing the community advanced technology. For example, the exhibition in the Cultural Center of European Space Technologies (KSEVT) provides the community in the town of Vintage cultural and scientific projects including events, research, and conferences that show the ‘culturalisation of the space’ (Lechner).  Gregorič, Tomaž. "Gallery Of KSEVT - Cultural Center Of EU Space Technologies | Dekleva Gregoric Architects | Media - 6". Archello , 2012, https://archello.com/story/20294/attachments/photos-videos/6 .  Additionally, artists have created three-dimensional kinetic paintings that illustrate a Cosmic dancer as a geometric form that can be seen differently from different angles. This sculpture and painting was transferred to the Russian Mir space station on a Progress rocket. This space art project can be seen in the image below. This sculpture is establ...

Event 4 | The Brain + Art with Mark Cohen | Livier Monarrez

Image
  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...
