Week 8: Nanotech + Art

At first I was a bit confused about the topic of “nantechonology”. This could be because I’m the not

the brightest kid in the room when talking about science. Literally, if I do not have a pen and paper down to write notes and I’m only suppose to receive information by ear…then you just wasted a few minutes of your life trying to explain something to me. Sorry.

I believe it was when the professor mentioned how Drexler wished to rearrange to molecules of dirt to make a hamburger out of dirt (Youtube), that I began to understand what technology is and how it is associated with art.  It’s, “…new ways of seeing, sensing, and connecting with matter that’s miniscule and abstract, (Anonymous).”

Take for instance the automotive industry. Jeff Dobbs (Global Sector Chairman, Industrial Manufacturing KPMG) comments that these days you do not need to a mine a material to make a product, you can make it yourself. In the automotive industry, nanocomposites are already being used and they have aided in achieving a 10-15 percent weight and strength improvement with a promise of 20-25 percent. (KPMG).

(In case you want more info on nanotech from the perspectives of major company owners who incorporate nanotechnology into their products to come out in the market on top of all the competitors!>>>>>)

Nanotechnology instills the idea of simplicity out of complexity. Like now, we don’t need a certain material to make a certain thing. We don’t need to follow steps to make an end. Instead, we can literally think outside the box and introduce a totally alien or “un-though-of” possibility to an impossibility. I think that it where the relationship to art comes in; the end product of where innovation is born from the once impossible.

This is clip of Malcolm Douglas Chaplin,  winner in the World Guinness Book of Records for creating the world’s smallest book using nanotechonology!

Event #3: Singular Spaces: From the Eccentric to the Extraordinary in Spanish Art Environments

 One the same day that I found myself at the GagaWaka exhibit at the Fowler Museum at UCLA, I also found myself trailing along the wall of the museum, gazing at the works of various Spanish artists and the photographs of Spanish art environments (photographed and documented by Jo Farb Hernandez).

Of all the unit topics thus far I believe this exhibit to be associated with the overall class of the relationship of the two cultures and “neuroscience and art”. This could seen with the fusing of sculptures or paintings with buildings, the photographer’s use of identifying a space with her lens, and the reasons for creating such art in regards to the Spanish artists.

The works of the artist-builders are typically considered “outside art”. This is because their works deal with their use of space which characteristically involves personal spaces like the home, farms, or gardens.  These artists fuse art with life making their works become, “…a visual cradle-to-grave accounting of how their creators have spent their lives and what was important to them.” (Hernandez). It is because of the fuse of the lives of the artists and their works that I see the relationship of neuroscience and art with their pieces.

For instance, one of the artist had a few tragic experiences in his life; one involving the death of his and then the death of his son. He tends to believe that demons exist on the earth, around living beings; thus, his works are of various demons that he envisions (he places the sculptures around his house). It is almost a message to the public that demons live among us by bringing a real life (although inanimate) demon into the realities of everyday people.

Week 9: Space + Art, A Race to the Beginning?

I would like to explain my title.

Thinking about space to me, is like thinking about the supernatural. There’s things that we know and things that we do not. Then you have the things that we want to know, and that’s where the imagination comes in.

I remember watching the episodes of The Jetsons Meet the Flinstones. Having to watch a bit of it again, and seeing the way the characters of the past (The Flinstones) act with futuristic technology (e.g. hitting the time machine with a club to make it work) of the Jetsons, makes me think about not only how far we as humans have come, but also how we have came to the point that we now and how the past enables our future. (Binary oppositions- one cannot exist without the other-past/future-primitive/civilized). 

Definitely, innovation is sparked by imagining the otherwise "impossible" becoming "possible; thinking out side of the box (#Heatherwick). I mean, before it was even possible to just make it into the atmosphere and even the moon, man has been looking up at the stars, imagining a world(s)
beyond our own. Examples of this in recent could be seen as the popular TV shows like Star Trek and Star Wars.  Thanks to technology and great imaginators, space travel is possible and soon living on the moon might be humanities next step.

So as to "how the past enables the future" and binary oppositions,with all of the advancements man has made to space, one can imagine what it would be like to live on the moon; however, when on the moon, people are not going to have access to everything that they had on earth. So humanity, even though technological advances has made us to live on the moon in outer space, it’s a new beginning and earth will be the old. So then what would be the binary opposition to civilized? Extra civilized? Pre-futuristic to futuristic? 

Space really is the final frontier, and if it's possible to live on the moon, imagine all of the other possibilities beyond it. Societies will be continuously starting over and reinventing itself to an age at people like us couldn't even begin to imagine. BUT, someone will, and someone after that...I mean that's how the past became what it is today, right?


It’s just something to think about I guess.

Event #2: Making Strange: Gagawaka + Postmortem by Vivan Sundaram

This weekend I was given the chance to see the works of India born and bred artist Vivan Sundaram at Fowler Museum located on UCLA's campus.

At first I was a little taken back by his pieces, especially the the display of different parts of the body, but after watching the small clip about his inspiration that went into his art, I was able to understand is concept on a greater level.

The combination of the Gagawaka and postmortem made me relate it the medicine and art unit because of his incorporation of medical supplies into his pieces.

[FUN FACT: The "Gaga" part of the name comes from "Lady Gaga" and the "Waka" Pat comes from Shakira's Jam for the Fifa World cup in South Africa, "Waka Waka". I over heard the tour lady telling a group. ]

I think one the most influential comments that Sundaram made was in his small video feature for the project. It concerned bringing his art pieces to life, something of which the mannequin itself can never become. It is when you put the clothes on the manniquen that a whole different set of questions comes into perspective about life and death.

To me, I think his pieces moved me to think about attire as well and the invisible realities we emit once we put on a piece of clothing. Like, it is not just fashion, but we are displaying a piece of ourselves to the world.

(My Favorite Piece! It's called Diva R E D. It's made entirely from bras!!)

Event #1: Provocations: The Architecture and Design of Heatherwick Studio

Out of all the events I went to, I believe that this was my favorite exhibit. 

Thomas Heatherwick is a British designer who is recognized for, “…his highly inventive work, which combines novel engineering with new materials and innovative design.” (Hammer). It’s through his designs and concepts that I am able to see the blends of two cultures as a structure.

What fascinates me about Heatherwick’s work is how many of his projects asks a question, which to the average person, the answer would be, “You can’t. It’s impossible.” For instance the 1991 piece called, “The Vessel”. The question asked is, “How can you hold something together without glue?”  The answer calls for one to think outside of the realm of what is common and logical. I have to admit, I myself was like…how? The answer is, “…he slid three identical pieces into each other, the interleaving of the cuts formed subtle corner details, and the way the elements gripped each other made it possible to bend their surface to create a kind of vessel, (Hammer).”

His inventions, where art, science, and technology becomes a structure that allows people to become one with an object is out of this world crazy and is an inspiration to people to be creative and different just like Heatherwork’s creations are. Below are some of his famous works.

Week 7: Neuroscience + Art: The Unconscious and Buddhism

What I took most from this week’s topic of Neuroscience and art is the consciousness and unconscious portion. I believe it is because t deals a lot with upbringing in a Buddhist home. Although my family does not practice Buddhism to the extent of the Dahlia Lama or Buddha himself for that matter, my own practice of the religion derives from my own pursuit of more knowledge on the topic. This all began when I decided to practice Buddhism verses Christianity (my father’s religion).

The Unconscious:

I do agree with Young, that Freud’s interpretation of the topic is negative, and agree with his that it is also a source of creativity. From many dreams that I have encountered in the past, some inspire me so much that I write a story, song, or draw a picture as a reflection on it.

I also agree that his theory does come into light with the involvement of religion and how it is a means of communication between all types of people. Take for instance Buddhist art. Although the photos here are not the one I wish to show, which hangs in my temple, the head monk told me that the art is not a representation of a deity (because Buddhism is an atheist religion), but a representation of a human emotion. People use those photos to meditate on it, so that they may conquer that emotion. So I guess that can be an example of communication through religious art (although art in general is a nonverbal form of communication to me); especially for those practicing Buddhism.

I

 see as consciousness and unconsciousness as binary oppositions. Without the one, the other cannot exist. Meaning in Buddhism, from with I have learned thus, the consciousness portion relates to how one must realize that life is suffering and the unconsciousness portion takes place when one is able to achieve enlightenment; it’s not something that can only be attained through sleep and dreams.

Week 6: Biotechnology + Art, Intentions...

In Jonathan Glover’s, “Humanity: A Moral History of the Twentieth Century,” He talks about the holocaust and questions how humans could experiment on other humans. Ellis answers this by summarizing Glover’s words, “…atrocities are accompanied by humiliation and dehumanization: pejorative terminology, degrading conditions, derogative images. People flip a mental switch and reclassify others as “nonpersons,” making it easier to kill them (9).”  So by classifying other beings as nonpersons (dehumanizing them) one can experiment on them.

This leads me to my “uneasy” feelings towards the relationship between biotechnology and art.

To temper with nature as a form of art is…a scary thought, especially if the creations do not come out accurate. Take for instance Marta Dimenezas modifying wings of living butterflies to change their patterns; this resulted with the wings having holes in them. For Edward Katz’ “Alba”, because his approach concluded with his experiment or artwork being successful (the experiment could be used for the good of humanity; as mentioned in Part One with aiding drugs), and treating Alba non-abusively, it leads me to look at it differently. I’m not for biotechnological art, nor am I against it.

What Troubles Me:

For living creatures that are not categorized as humans, we dehumanize them because they are not

human so we can go into experimentation justly, but in retrospect, they are living creatures (rats, bunnies, plants, etc). At the same time that we are dehumanizing them, we are de-fellowizing (a term I created) them as not part of the category of nature or an entity that is living and breathing.  If we can go to these extremes for experimenting on those who are not humans in the name of art, can we deny that a time for art with experimentation on living humans will not come about...and that it would be "just"? That is, if that time has not already come or passed.

I guess in the end, as the Dahlia Lama comments in the novel, “The Quantum and the Lotus,” everything we do is based on intent. I think that is what we have to be attentive to for scientists who wish to categorize biotechnology as a palette and labeling themselves as artists. What are their intentions going into a project? 

Of course...the intentions make the process of going into an experiment or creation as just or unjust;we still have a moral responsibility for intentions that result in an unethical aftermath.

Week 4: Medicine +Technology + Art

It is hard for me to see the connection to between medicine, technology, and art. Of course, this was before I reviewed the materials for week four. However, from what I could gather I believe technology and medicine’s connection with art stems from their obvious connection to life itself.  And life, to me, is art put into multiple forms at a constant and continuous rate. I also want to add in that it is not only life as in someone/a thing who is living, but even after death. We can see this through the forms of art that have taken place throughout the course of history with corpses. We can also see this in not only a physical sense, but also in the metaphysical sense when concerning transcendence, nirvana, heaven, etc.

            

Other than the videos we were required to watch, I think it was the Hippocratic Oath article that made me realize the relationship between art and medicine the most; I am taking from the modern Hippocratic Oath. They emphasize human beings, life, and art. I believe that they emphasized those three subjects because in taking care of a human being, one cannot be…un-human…so in order to carry out the responsibilities of a doctor, he or she must be human; which requires he/she to see the beauty in their practice (before and after).

          I guess what I am trying to say is bit confusing, but I hope whoever reads this will get the gist of it.

Week 3: Robotics and Art. An Observation of Eastern Attitudes towards the Mechanical Man

As someone who used to study in Japan, I have learned a few cultural aspects of Japanese society that has become part of the universal knowledge of Japanese persons; some may be true, some may be not. One of the aspects include how the Japanese are “unemotional” or hide their feelings. Another includes the society or a great number in the society to be isolated; withdrawal from society.

These thoughts stem from a series of events that take place in Japanese society.

In regards to the feelings of isolation and being antisocial, you have the term, “Hikikomori”, which describes reclusive adolescents or adults that, “…withdraw from social life…seeking extreme degrees of isolation and confinement (Hikikomori).” It is a phenomenon in Japan. 

In relations to hiding one’s feelings you have the term “Yes Man”, which is used to describe Japanese persons; regardless of how they may feel about a certain situation or event, they would say, "Yes," to it. For example, when A and B (Japanese) have a discussion and B's opinion differs A, to avoid conflict A would not voice their opinion on the matter.This is mostly concerning Japanese corporate culture. (Sugimoto).

I could give a few more examples, but space is limited.

Machiko Kusahara comments that Japan’s view of robots/ humanoids, is as a friend. When created in Japan, they are usually created with a friendly face. In contrast, to the West, the view of robots is seen as something scary and unwanted. (Vesna).

Why?

I think this derives from the psychological issues of living in a society where technology takes precedence over human relations (There is definitely a connection concerning economic and educational factors.). That is why there is strong desire to create a humanoid, a mechanical human being. Someone who could there for someone when actual humans could not. This does not only in involve physical robots, but also virtual based beings. 

And I believe we see this through various games from Japan; for instance, virtual reality games. A popular type is the Otome, meaning, "Girl game," because it is created for girls. It is basically story games where one gets to interact with computer characters. (Otome). 

You also have multiple manga and anime series that involve the joining of human and machine; for example the anime series, Gundam, where humans fuse with their machine to save the world and for other purposes.

So in the end, what I am trying to say is that I believe Japan’s interest in creating the humanoid is due to isolation factors that are prominent in Japanese society; using the creation of a mechanical/virtual being to fill the void of human interaction.

On another end note, I wish to say that through anime and manga as well as the contemporary creations and interpretations of humanoids or the mechanical man, I feel that Japan is a mirror to how the future will be in regards to harmoniously living aside mechanical/virtual beings (a human and technological combination) as well as a future where human interaction will slowly decrease due to environmental issues and technological advances.

Week 2: Math + ART

The combination of math, art, and science was never a realization I came across; although, it has been in my face most of my life. It was like... art and science...hmm…I can see that, but adding math into it too? It was not really noticeable from the beginning. Thus, it was interesting to learn and see how it all fits together. For example, the vanishing point in pictures, drawings, and paintings and the divine ratio given by Da Vinci that helps in the building of monumental structures and the depiction of human bodies in works of art.

What really stood out to me from this week’s materials was the concepts that Da Vinci discovered concerning perspective; geometry of perspective, artificial perspective, natural perspective, compound perspective. Perspective is definitely something I have learned as a lover of writing fictional stories. I guess to put it into the perspective of an art expression (painting, drawing, sculpting) was rather interesting to me.

I think a good example of an art piece that brings the perspectives to life would be Da Vinci’s  The Last Supper. One could see the use of natural perspective (in the people, the nature through the windows), artificial perspective (objects and people in the painting), and compound perspective (all together).

In regards to the juxtaposition of mathematics, art, and science, I believe that math is the base of multiple, if not all, forms of art and it is through that that art and science could be portrayed in the multiple manners it has been.

Week One: Two Cultures, Third Culture...How About None?

The question that floats in my mind about all of the materials use for week one is…does there have to be a divide? In other words, in regards to the concepts and realities of the “Two Cultures” and the “Third Culture”, do they even have to exist?

The division or the “creation” of art and science becoming two separate entities came into existence during the industrial and enlightenment period (Vesna) and it was from then that the current education system is running. I agree with Robinson that that is where the problem lies. Children of today are learning from an education system whose purpose was aimed at the, “…economic circumstance of the industrial revolution (RSA).” So today it is all about STEM and little attention is being to the arts. Through continuing the education system of the past, the divide between art and science is always going to be separated and although they are two different things, after week one’s readings and videos, I feel as if art, science, and technology are almost synonymous with one another in that they each play hand in hand with one another.

So if the current education system is changed, would the “Two Cultures” or “Third Culture” even have to exist? Should we work on making this a reality?

I guess I’m taking it from the perspective of gender and sexuality. Humans are put into two groups. You have male on one end and female on the other, but where do you place those born in between the two sexes; for instance, herms, merms, and ferms? Now society is isolating the sexes that are in-between and created separate categories for them which in return creates psychological and physical problems (physical, if given surgery at birth to change their sexual organ) when the child does not know how or which gender group (woman or man) to fit in to.

So now we have the separation of art and science (Two Cultures). For the people who are mixing the two we have added a “Third Culture”. Possibly if the world doesn't change their way of educating, there might just be a fourth, fifth, and sixth culture. What exactly those cultures will consist of is beyond me; however, I hope that in the future the two disciplines will cease to exist because at the end of the day a certain level of intelligence is attached to art and science. You are so-so if you can do the arts and you must be really smart to do science. What is going to happen to the people who fall into the artist category or who can’t even get to that one?
