http://www.educationnews.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/brian_scan.jpg Neuroscience joined with art has allowed for scientists to accurately map and model the brain. Mapping the brain has helped scientists see the many functions of each part of the brain, and to see if the brain is functioning correctly. A fMRI, an example of brain mapping, allows for images of the brain to be seen by doctors to see if the brain is functioning correctly. Suzanne Anker used fMRI's as a form of art by superimposing butterflies as an overlay on the fMRI which gives somewhat of an optical illusion for the viewer. Anker's technique influences scientists to continue the work to gain more information about the brain. http://www.nature.com/nrn/journal/v10/n11/fig_tab/nrn2736_F2.html In the article "Neuroculture", neuroculture is defined as "The interaction between art and science offers an opportunity to make the scientific community and the public aware of the social and ethi...
(personal pictures) This week I went to the "Creating Fertile Ground ArtSci Collaboration" given by Austria Claudia Schnugg. I liked how she started off saying how usually Scientists and are not usually on the same page with their work but they in fact are very similar and can be used in collaboration to create world changing products. "Unicorn- A Fashionable Brain Scan." G.tec. N.p., 18 Apr. 2016. Web. 25 May 2017. One of the most interesting products that Schnugg discussed was the "Agent Unicorn". Agent Unicorn is a unicorn shaped head piece that has a camera that measure brain activity with share active dry electrodes. The horn shaped headpiece is used by people with ADHD and is used to help figure out what triggers their attention. When the attention of the user is high, the camera goes on and it record what is in front off the user. The headpiece was created in collaboration with neuroscientist, therapists, software and hardware. personal ...
Professor Vesna's video lecture was very interesting to me because prior to taking an art class in highs school, I did not associate Math with Art. Professor Vesna stated math is the study of relationships between numbers and I never thought it could relate to art. Once I took the art class I realized just how much art and math are related and the necessity of math to create a simple piece of artwork. We use math for art all around the world today and can even trace is back thousands of years ago. I now realize how important it is to have correct measurements and spacing and direction of lines to make things realistic. http://img1-azcdn.newser.com/image/1062438-12-20160325131304.jpeg In the video Lecture Professor Vesna explains Leonardo Da Vinci's impact on art and his use of linear perspective to create realistic paintings. In "The Last Supper", Da Vinci uses linear perspective by making the vanishi...
