I have always thought math was a form of art. Math is used in a lot of graphics, for example, ratios, geometry, and simple basic math. In professor Vensa's lecture, she mentions that a lot of art majors hate math, but they use math on a daily basis whether they like it or not. Computers are what connect math and art. She also mentions how artist use horizontal lines to get the realness and depth of paintings and she uses the Mona Lisa for example. The Golden ratio gives the painting its beauty and  symmetry. Leonardo Da Vinci studied perspective and he used artificial and natural perspectives.      Figure 1: Leonardo Da Vinci Leonardo Da Vinci created this drawing and it influenced so much art in the 20th century. It was created in 1847 that shows a male drawing and was used as a symbol of art and science.   Figure 2: Fractals Fractals use math in its art. It uses the formula z=z^2+c. The Mandelbrot Set is the most popular fractal. There are a v...

I never really understood how biotech could relate to art until this week. Biotechnology is the exploitation of biological processes for industrial and other purposes, especially the genetic manipulation of microorganisms for the production of antibiotics, hormones, etc. After listening to professor Vesna's lecture part two and the testings of lab rats and how they cross their genomes, it makes sense. Professor Vesna also mentions in her lecture that they do Blood wars. They take your white blood cells to test in hopes that people who donated will get a better understanding of how the white blood cells are used in our body to protect us. The artist's who work in this area spend a great amount of time and energy in their works. Artists are taking advantage of their ability to use biotechnology in their art and are using rats to test on and cross their genomes and make hybrids, cyborgs, etc to get the results that they want. This crossing does create some good because it ...

I never really viewed medicine and technology as art. This weeks lesson I find really interesting because I have had medical issues last year involving a knee injury. I had torn my ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) and meniscus due to sports. I've had to get three MRI's because they could not tell if the ACL was torn. After seeing a doctor back at home and here at UCLA they all agreed to repair the meniscus then ACL, but due to how bad I tore my meniscus they thought it was in best interest to stage this surgery. I got my meniscus repaired at home during the summer of 2015 then when I got here to UCLA during summer school they fixed my ACL. During my rehab, I pushed myself too hard and ended up re-tearing my meniscus involving a third surgery. Medicine, tools, and technology are considered art according to Vesna's Lecture Pt.2. MRIs and X-Rays are is used to show organs and tissues within the body.  Silvia Casini states in her article, “MRI has a ‘look’ in the same wa...
