Week 8: Nanotech+Art

Image
Scanning Tunneling Microscopy Nanotechnology is a new science that provides graphically intense visualizations (Gimzewski). It is a growing field; the combination of nanotechnology and art largely impacts the field of research. Since the twenty-first century is known for “decoding of the genome, fears of distributed terrorist cells and nanotechnology as the big promise of total control of matter from the atom all the way up living systems”, it is important to analyze biology at the atomic level (Gimzewski). Richard Feynman was the first to suggest atom manipulation (Pt1). The scanning tunneling microscope is an important invention since it helps create new effects, such as new forms of coloring. The microscope feels the surface and maps atom positions, creating and breaking partial chemical bonds (Pt2).  This manipulation of atoms is a work of art itself. To be able to form chemical bonds anytime and in any position allow scientists to create various types of molecules. In ...

Event 1: Youjin Cheng

My first event was an art show presented by Youjin Cheng. Her art show demonstrates sympathy to inanimate objects. In the first part of the show, there are lamps surrounding a sculpture, making the focus on the sculpture.

The different lamps tell the story of having different perspectives and angles on the structure in the middle. Instead of having an audience focusing on the structure, it is a view on why people feel jealous about artificial things (Youjin).

He says “there is a routine and mechanical kind of perception that we can carry out habitually, in dealing with what is familiar…But real perception that is capable of seeing something new and unfamiliar requires that one be attentive, alert, aware and sensitive” (Bohm).
