                  Professor Vesna explained is the video lectures, space is where math, science, art, nanotechnology intertwine. Art has allowed for what was once unknown to turn into real life and has helped us learn more about our planet, universe and everything around us in this world.

                 The "Powers of Ten" video,  puts into perspective how tiny humans are when we think about the rest of the world around us. Scientists today are able to enhance in both positive and negative directions and are able to look deeper in these ways in space because it shows us images that tell us specifically what is in universe and even how we were created and how life first began.

I believe that Sputnik helped advance  technology in space and help the US learn more about our planet. The US creation, Sputnik, is a good example  of how space and art influence one another. The design, structure, and creativity os artists made it possible to create the invention that started the Space Race which then led to the US being the first to put a man on the moon and win the Space Race!

Week 4: Medtech + Art

Niiler, Eric. "Mind-Controlled Prostheses Let Hands Feel Again : DNews." DNews. N.p., 8 Oct. 2014. Web. 29 Apr. 2017.   Medical technology mixed with art is another version of the blending of science and art. Discussed in the lecture video, human dissection was a very frequent phenomenon going back to the era of  the ancient egyptian's that fused anatomy with artistry. Direction allowed for knowledge and understanding bone structure and anatomical makeups that dissectionists had to be aware of when making their artistic incisions. Medical technology has progressed and is used everyday across the world in ways like: x-Rays, MRI's, and CT scans. The increase of use and progress in medical technology was a direct result of the increases progress and understanding if the human body, which is a form of art. Niiler, Eric.

Week 6: Biotech and Art

In the week's lecture videos, Professor Vesna discussed how artists have been able to expand their creativity by integrating biotechnology into their art. The use of biotechnology in art is very controversial when it comes to artists' using living things like animals or humans and using them last "art". Some individuals say that using transgenics and gene modification could  help 'bring us closer to our own human health issues' (High). Kathy High's Experiment on rat laughter that recorder sounds of rats was shaped after the human phenomena that laughter is contagious. Experiments like High's could help us humans for the better. Unlike High, some artists have been judged for using living organism as art. the controversy comes from whether art should be worth more than humanistic. I don't think artists should use life as a form of art because artists that use bioart just for decoration or just others entertainment is different than scientist usi

Week 3: Art & Robots

                    http://corporate.ford.com/innovation/100-years-moving-assembly-line.html In Lecture Professor Vesna discussed how robotics came about in relation to assembly lines. The car company Ford was first to use robotics in an assembly line to create  faster way to get car production done instead of human labor. Henry used the idea of an assembly line so that his workers could make more money and almost be turned into a middle class worker. But this created problems because with Taylorism, workers felt like they were being turned into machines and being treated like machines as well. So with this idea, people didnt know what to think of it because it had pros and cons. Next Professor Vesna discusses robots.  She discusses how the first robots we learn about are cyborgs and how many movies use cyborgs as in between humans and robots.                                    http://www.insidesources.com/i-robot-whats-next/ The first thing that came to mind when I though about
