DESMA 9 Week 4 Blog

    Before this week, I honestly couldn't tell you how Medical Technology and Art were in any way related.  But through the lectures and my additional research, I have found that these two ideas converge all over modern and post-modern art as well as many other places.  The first cool thing I found in my research was an entire article on the use of medical technology in art.  The one artist that really stood out to me was Marilene Oliver who experimented with the use of MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) in art. This picture I've included is entitled Family Portrait, and all 4 images are MRI's of an entire family.  I think these images are so unique and interesting, especially when you think about how these items of Medical Technology also serve as eye-appealing art.     However, sometimes people can take these things too far.  For example, the girl Orlan from lecture disfigured and reshaped her body to try and maximize her aesthetic be...

DESMA 9 Week 2 Blog

    Making Art From Equations     This week's lecture is about the convergence of Math and Art.  As a significant part, or even "base" of all science, math plays a pivotal role in all aspects of life, even art!  In anything from a detailed drawing, to graphic design, to architecture, math is at work in tandem with art.  Especially nowadays, art is being taken to whole new lengths beyond just a palette and a canvas. Designers are now able to use computers to develop their own unique styles of art that help bring their craft into the technologically advanced 21st century.  This first article i read summed this all up pretty well: "Art is illusion, and transformations are important in creating illusion." These transformations are only made possible by the computers and the mathematics behind the computers that help this art come to life.          I still remember the following TED talk that I came across years ago, ...

DESMA 9 Event 2 -- Eli Joteva’s solo show

    This Thursday I went to Eli Joteva's solo exhibition -- mnemoawari, which is the second of the cycle over the course of three days. The show was themed on the concepts of memory, dream, and how they connect with past, present and future, through her uniquely made artifacts, and what I saw and felt was absolutely astounding. Picture of the exhibition table I took at the entrance of EDA     In the upstairs area she created three beautiful spheres of ice which were suspended by ropes and frozen in layers. Although to be honest, I did not realize they were iced balls at the first sight, because this is what I saw: Pictures I took of the actual iced balls     Since I went to the show on the second day of its cycle, and these iced balls were melting, the outer iced layers were completely gone, according to Eli herself. However to me this was a good thing because at the time I could have a better look at these artifacts in a unique w...
