  Proof of Atmosphere of Sounds Webinar     On April 21st I attended Atmosphere of Sounds by Patricia Cadavid that was a thrilling experience to put life in perspective. This webinar explained the colonial times of artwork and specifically the Khipu system which was a system of knots used for recording both statistical and narrative information (Cossins 2018). The colonial times were thought to not have speech, which the tribes such as the Incas used these knots to record information.     Patricia is an immigrant and born in Colombia which inspired her to put her work towards the correlation of colonial times and new age media (Cadavid 2022). This was particularly interesting because she combined the Kipu knots with the electric sound. The most interesting piece was the Kanchay Yupana which is a tangible calculator that is based on certain seeds on boards divided by the sections (Cadavid 2021).  Cadavid, Patricia.

"Moment of Reflection" Sourced from: https://newsroom.ucla.edu/stories/refik-anadol-s-moment-of-reflection-wows-campus-audience Me at Exhibit              During the evening of April 21 2022, I went to Quinn Winter's Moment of Reflection showing and it was spectacular. It depicted the struggles that American Indian communities felt during COVID-19. The art at first was a big white box with what it seemed to be breathing sand or sand that was changing colors based on mood (Fricano 2). The art was animated to what seemed to be Artificial Intelligence.     This piece reminded me of the AI guys that dance around based on their moods (Simkovic 3). This AI allows art to be beautiful on its own. Creating art with code seems to be a whole different type of art which we can relate to the lectures last week.      The art would have a mind of its own and change colors. They would be called quantum memories from AI (Morozov ...

Wong, Virgil. "Discoveries in Virtual Reality" Virgil Wong 2022. Sourced                                                                                       from: https://www.virgilwong.com/      During this week's lecture about medicine, technology and art, I thought of a couple of different ideas related to the lectures the most. As the professor pointed out, medicine and technology for medicine came out of war because of the constant need for quick rapid aid to soldiers. Specifically, Virgil’s 3D system that can show you what your healthy self looks like. I feel that this is essential for nutrition, health and wellness. This not only promotes self wellness and health but actually is super technologically ad...

Proof of Attendance On Saturday April 16th, 2022 I attended the Repairing Nature Episode 3 event by the Pratt Institute Gallery in Manhattan. This event was particularly interesting because it shed light on human destruction and how we could repair it by using art to symbolize it. This event was very interesting because it is a problem that all of us have to face and using art to inspire action. One particular piece caught my eye. The piece called "Moby Debris" 2019 by Christy Rupp. In his artwork he uses intertwined food, politics, and ecology that have been made a mess (Rupp 2019). The artwork look like small micro plankton but trash at the same time. It symbolized life made out of plastics fighting for survival. Christ did an amazing job depicting how our society has flaws and used this art to express it.

       Although art was not originally mathematical, coding for instance is seen as art and a language. To code is creating something out of nothing, one must type code and in order to produce software which can move working parts such as a television. Art can be described as a bunch of geometric shapes such as circles, triangles and squares. As Henderson describes in his article the meaning behind geometric shapes with artists, using mathematical geometry to design 2 and 3 dimensional spaces. As Nathan Selikoff’s 4th dimension photo shows you, mathematicals creates movable art in the form of light. I use photoshop all the time to create promotions for my business so digital art is a major use of mine and all businesses with marketing. The father of computer art Charles Csuri, on the other hand, generates magnificent pieces using computer technology. Scuri, Charles. "Beyond Boundaries" 1963.

Rinaldo, Ken. "Continuous War Train" Ken Rinaldo.com 2018.

The computer I am typing on has Artificial Intelligence linked inside of the software that allows me to use a fingerprint to open it without a password. The first person behind the actual idea of robotics was Henry Ford however you must relate back to the time of the printing press and industrialization. AS Walter Benjamin describes, the reproduction of art and the art of film have lacking materials that in essence define art (Benja...
