Robotics + Art

 Week 3 

Robotics + Art 

To me industrialization is when factories produce mass productions, assembly lines that are controlled by big machinery. Cool thing is that when you think about technology, art, and robots it is not just about high tech machinery. So a philosopher named Walter Benjamin, talks about how things are made and gives us an image to look at the process. He explains his view of art that is changed by machines and he elaborates how these machines are taking our creativity away which is called "aura".


    In the movie "Ex Machina" it explains how a robot name Ava interacts with a young man and I had some thoughts in my head about robots. One of the thoughts were, " what if robots become smarter than humans and they use that power to take humans over" " Does this mean our existence is over" These kinds of questions pop up because of how smart Ava is . A guy name Karl Capek, came up with the name robot to technology like Ava and he is upset at not having the credit for calling technology like Ava, robots. This made me wonder if he was scared of robots and the power they are able to produce. 

     After thinking about the power that robots can do, I became familiar with the Electric Circus and basically the Electric Circus is a combination of art and robot and it is a show where humans and machines are able to combine their two powers and to make something really cool. One of the creations are robots that are lifelike but this made me think if these robots can replace human jobs, such as fast-food. Sooner or later, jobs are going to be hard to find and living is going to be even harder.

Week 1: Two Cultures

 April 5, 2024 Week 1: Two Cultures The Vitruvian Man by Leonardo a Vinci               After reading the article, Leonardo De Vinci speaks in favor of the intersection of art, science and technology. These connections are encouraged by the “Third Culture” that involves elements of all three areas.The main goal is for artists, scientists and scholars to collaborate . By working together, they can share ideas and have respect for each other's ideas.  North and South Campus of UCLA      As I was walking around the UCLA campus, I can see a lively relationship between the sciences and humanities because of its different programs and research actions the school provides. A unique thing about UCLA is that it offers programs like digital media,arts, engineering and cultural studies because of the collaborations of artists, scientists and scholars that's at UCLA. Also having events and seminars at UCLA is a way to help promote communications between the two cultures of art and science.

 Week 4 Blog: MedTech April 26, 2024 In Lecture 3 Vesna inspired me to discover that plastic surgery was used long ago, about 4000 years ago, and it was a old eastern style in the medical field. There is a similarity between art and medicine, nowadays its called plastic surgery, and the main goal is the appearance aspect. The one cool thing that I found out about art and medicine is that there are other medical procedure that's related to art.  I did a procedure a while back and it was called "echocardiography" and echocardiography is a procedure when the doctor uses a machine to see how blood flows by using sound waves. In lecture 2 Vesna mentioned that to be able to detect a diseases without invasive procedures, the doctors needs to do a non invasive method which consist of MRI, X-ray and CAT. Using these methods reminds me of art because the way the pumping the blood goes across my body, I can feel a more rhythmic vibration.  When Casini said she felt a "aural hal
