EVENT 3: COLOR, LIGHT, MOTION

Ted Victoria

By: James Hepp


I was able to watch my last event on color, light, and motion by Ted Victoria. I think this event was extremely relevant in our course this quarter, especially in the art category. Ted Victoria went through a slide show on all of all of the forms of art he has created with his low-tech tools. This to me is a great representation of art in our early stages of our society with the tools that went along with it.

I think Ted demonstrates how beautiful art is still able to be created even without high-tech tools. This is seen throughout our history and I think Ted does a great job of demonstrating that. Ted is able to make incredible transformations with every day objects.

This event remined me of when we learned about the Babylon and the clay tablets. It is an example of how a very limited number of tools still has the ability to create something magnificent. By using color, light, and motion, Ted is able to give life and a deepened beauty for what seems to be every day objects.

  Week 3 Robotics + Art April 15, 2022 Throughout the course of time art, technology, and robotics has developed industrialization and the way society views the world. Computers are the single piece of technology that has catapulted our society in to a more advanced and electronic world. The printing press was one of the first major mechanical and technological advances in our society. It was truly the beginning of the assembly line, which eventually transformed in to the car industry assembly line. Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, and scientist, is best known for developing an alternating current. He also formed the basis of wireless communication. This wireless communication is especially common in our society today. This shows how the developments made back then are still common and relative in our every day life to this day. Advances in technology like this is the catalyst in a world that uses this as a form of communication and living.  In W...

  Week 8 | Nanotechnology + Art | Blog Assignment James Hepp 5/20/22 Nanotechnology is so revolutionary and interesting because it affects almost every aspect of science. Nanotechnology refers to a billionth of a meter. This form of technology has the ability to create incredible medicinal and manufacturing  advancements. Nanotechnology is of great importance to our society because of the frequency and necessity  of it. Without this revolutionary nanotechnology, our society would not have the advancements in science that we have today.                                                   https://www.azonano.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=5385 Something that stood out to me was the scanning tunneling microscope invented by Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer.

  Week 7 | Neuroscience + Art | Blog Assignment James Hepp 5/13/22 The brain and neuroscience research is fairly new in our society. It was hard to study this part of the body with the lack of technology. Over time, neuroscientists have been able to make some amazing discoveries about the human brain while learning the overall function. Our interpretation of the function of the brain has not always been the same and has drastically developed over the course of our history. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-makes-a-human-brain-unique/ One thing that stood out to me was how the understanding of the brain has changed over time. Aristotle believed that the brain was the cooling system of the body. He thought the brain cooled the blood and prevented the body from overheating. I thought this was pretty interesting because of our understanding of the brain in modern society. Considering now that we know that the brain controls the whole body. It wasn't until electricity and ...
