Nano+Bio+Art

                     So many things happened today, my mind is hectic. Unlike with usual day, we had very tight schedule. We began our day with Sara and Pinar’s lecture about sensing. After basic concept of how eyes’ cons and rods perceive color and light, Pinar introduced an artist of  opart, Bridget Riley(1). Her specialty, op art aka [...]

                Today’s theme was molecular nanostructure. Miu and Rimie kick-started the morning lecture. They explained what are the biomolecules and how they are adapted in nanotechnology. Frankly I once learned a glimpse of DNA origami using its sticky ends. It was amazing to know that this can be shifted into a pieve of art. One of the example, Dr. Graeme’s carbon rapture(1).     Dr. Graeme Jones broke [...]

  Another week in Sci ㅣArt NanoLab began. Oddly the week seemed getting faster as the day passed by. Today, we began the day with Mattia and Rita. This time their lecture was about bio-wave and its types. It was very interesting to learn human’s principal senses are closely related to waves. Next lecture [...]

  On our day #6 was pretty much free day so there was no lecture or presentation today. Instead, we went to California Science Center, Santa Monica Museum of Art, Venice beach. After packed schedules during the week day, having chance to relax was refreshing. First we went to two different museums. Although it might not seem [...]

  Today’s guest speaker was John Carpenter who was an architect from a company called Morphosis and former instructor. He introduced interesting modern architecture and different soft-wares used to demonstrate three dimensional picture of buildings. He showed most of his works inspired by the nature. For instance, he showed one of his piece resembled sands on the [...]

          Today’s theme was optics and colors; with Sarah and Pinar’s lecture, we started the day. Unlike with yesterday today theme was quite reapproachable. Property and types of elctromagnetic spectrum was mainly focused on its wavelength and frequency. Between the frequency range of  4oo-700 light that are visible in human’s eyes is what we commonly call colors. Most of materials we [...]

                     Today’s kick-start lecture was with Miu and Romie. In our daily life, we often praise how beautiful the nature is. We find outselves exponentially swelling inspiration in us by it. However, the lecture listened today was an eye-openning although I was well aware that art can easily create from nature. I realized I’ve been [...]

  Today was our second day in UCLA Sci ㅣArt. Waking up early was still pain but I hope this ebbs away soon. We kicked start off with lecture about waves with Mattia and Rita. Most of the materials we covered was basic of physics yet very principal. Mattia’s lectures about another example of enclosing gap between science [...]

Yeah! First day in UCLA with SciㅣArt! Although my tired body gave me hard time to wake up this morning, the sight of the CNSI building was dazzling and amazed me. I’d been joing several science related camp since I moved into USA three years ago before but I never had such opportunity to see this closely to this [...]
