Week 7 - Neuroscience + Art

Aristotle, the father of psychology, had believed that the brain was merely an organ built to cool down the blood in the heart and lungs. With developed technology, science can now confirm with microscopes and electricity that the brain is the conductor of thought and emotion. In a lot of literary works and art, the heart seems to always be romanticized as the driver of human passion while the mind is always portrayed as the rational counterpart. Artists and even scientists have challenged this notion through beautiful depictions of neuroscience. Split Santiago Ramon y Cajal is considered to be the father of modern neuroscience, as he has won a Nobel Peace Prize for his work in medicine and physiology. However, according the Vesna's lecture, he referred to neurons as "mysterious butterflies of the souls" and their dendrites as the wings. He obtained his artistic fulfillment within science, as he spent hours drawing natural scenes that would be later used in textboo...

Extra Credit Event 2: African Print Fashion Show

Since I don't normally associate fashion with science and technology, it was difficult to correlate this type of art form to the concepts we've been learning in class. As I perused through the exhibits, I eventually recognized various applications of technology being used to produce the vibrant colored designs. Flyer and advertising poster at the entrance of Fowler To start off, I discovered that certain African cloths are produced by a mechanized process that creates a variety of print types such as Java, "Fancy", and Wax. Java prints are produced through high-quality roller printing, using engraved metal roller to deeply penetrate the colors into the fabric. "Fancy" prints can be produced with rotary screen printing, which is more cost effective because it outputs at a faster rate. However, these prints can vary in terms of quality as a trade-off. Wax prints are made through a combination of resin mixture and a duplex-roller system to produce a f...

Event 1: Linda Weintraub Lecture

I went to Linda Weintraub's Lecture at the Broad Art Center on April 18th. Throughout her presentation, Weintraub explored various contemporary arts dealing with eco-materialism. One particular project that stood out to me was Daniel Steegmann Mangrane's "Phantom". Using Oculus Rift technology, he was able to create a virtual reality environment of, what I later found out, the Brazilian Mata Atlántica rain forest. With his collaboration with ScanLAB Projects, there was an effective communication between "literary intellectuals" and the "scientists", a real life example of the third culture forming that Snow theorized and Vesna elaborated upon in her article.

This harmonized with her lecture's overarching theme of connecting one'...
