 Clara Wren - Week 9 - Space +Art

Space is where it is all coming together in the end.  From nanotechnology, to mathematics, to science, to robots, to art, this is where everything is connected and brought to one thing.  And that thing is space. Space is related back to your consciousness.

When looking at the stars, they were named Roman names to figure out life.  Between meteorites, stars, and shooting stars, they are fascinating and beautiful pieces of space that have become so much to artists. 

Starting with Copernicus, who was a mathematician and astronomer, he created an early heliocentric model of the solar system.  He put the sun in the center of his drawing and this was when the first idea was made about the sun being in the center of the solar system.  Although his work was not necessarily new, he had the most mathematical details and explanations to prove what his artwork was showing.

An amazing part in space history was not only when the first human was sent up into space, but they were able to design a suit for an animal to go up.  A dog was sent up in a little suit for the very first time.  It was such a monumental moment, all over global news, because people wanted the first living creature to return back safely down to earth.  This not only had to do with space, but also math, science, and art to design what was needed for that dog to live and succeed.

    Wow, this text is very profound and thought-provoking! Love how it goes into the depths of human complexity and our never-ending search for meaning. The author's persuasive writing style enthralls the reader and compels us to think about our own existence.

Clara Wren - Week 1 - Two Cultures  As a student-athlete at UCLA, my life has really only revolved around gymnastics my entire life.  However, coming into college, where it is close to entering the real world, I knew I needed to find a passion outside of my sport.  The only thing I had ever done was coach gymnastics at the gym I practiced.  That made me realize I really enjoyed working with little kids.  This led me to major in Education and Social Transformation, with the hopes of becoming an elementary school teacher.  This embeds my personal and academic paths, however, it has nothing to do with technology or the sciences in any way.  Since education falls under the arts and humanities, my classes are all on the North side of campus.  I have yet to take a trip past Royce Hall, since Royce is where my education classes are, with all of my other classes being online asynchronous.

 Clara Wren - Week 4 - MedTech + Art To my knowledge, I know medical technology to be inventions and machines that are used in the medical field.  Whether this is an x-ray machine, MRI, or CT scan, these are technological machines used to photograph the body.  The images show inside the body, to the bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, etc., and are used to find injuries or illnesses.  Past machinery such as those, I am unsure of any other medical technology.  I also am not aware of any way that medical technology ties into art.

As mentioned in the introduction video by Professor Victoria Vesna, she explains how science and technology has influenced medicine.  Again, with my examples mentioned above, I completely agree with this and understa...
