Week 9 Blog      This week it was very interesting to see how all of our past units such as nanotechnology, biotechnology, math, and robotics come together with our current unit as we explore how they are all used in space. But, for me, the coolest relationship within this unit was between art and zero gravity in space. When it comes to the relationship between art and space, we are early on introduced to astronomer and mathematician, Nicolai Copernicus. He published an early depiction of his heliocentric model of the solar system in 1512, which for the first time scientifically, showed the sun in the middle of the solar system. http://astro.hopkinsschools.org/course_documents/history/copernicus_to_galileo/copernican.jpg      On may 22, 1993, a sculpture called the Cosmic Dancer was launched to the Russian Mir space station on a Progress rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. This sculpture was the first three-dimensional artwo...

Week 6 Blog Many artists have been able to merge biotechnology with their art in an attempt to explore the nature of life, evolutionary understanding, and ethics. They were able to accomplish this by experimenting in laboratories with new technology.  http://www.innov8med.com/the-intersection-of-art-science-and-technology/ Unfortunately, there are many controversial consequences as a result of biotechnology and the use of  transgenics, mutilation, mutation, recombinance or selective breeding as an artistic technique.  http://www.whatisthebiotechnology.com/pages/animal_biotechnology.html When it comes to animals, there is much controversy about the ethical implications of artists meddling with genetic structures of natural systems.  Many widely know, flawed cases of biotechnology in animals have overshadowed the fact that biotechnology can genetically improve animals for agricultural and medical applications.  An example of controversia...

Week 7 Blog This week we discovered how nanotechnology has an impact on energy, nature, food, agriculture, and electronics, as well as on almost every aspect of technology and science due to the fact that it is such a broad field. Many people don't realize that nanotechnology directly affects their personal lives and they are most likely unaware of the hundreds of products that exist as a result of nanotechnology such as in our food or clothes. https://fineartamerica.com/featured/nanotechnology-conceptual-artwork-laguna-design.html There is a group called ETC that is against nanotechnology because of the potential dangers. Some examples of products that contain nanotechnology are health supplements, soft drinks, cooking oils, and fertilizers. A specific case of health claims related to nanotechnology in a product was in a diet milkshake called "Slim Shake Chocolate" which was a health risk due to contents containing silica nano-particles. Although the health risk...
