After attending, Dr. Geckelberg's seminar on Plasma and the nature of its physical research, I was enthralled surprisingly not only at the scientific applications, but more so at useful artistic value that the data can draw.
One such example, was the how the display of Dr Geckelberg's findings were presented in puzzling yet intriguing loop-like and colorful rings. Not only are such findings crucial to understand the vector fields in question, but they also happen to produce magnificent artwork.
In addition to Dr. Geckelman's findings, Artist Megan Lindman spoke of the various impacts that certain chemicals like Oxcytocin impact our capacity to love others and seek pleasure. Following her explanation, she displayed her paintings in which part of each color had actual Oxytocin mixed into the shades. Ultimately, to produce a more visually appealing portrait. In my opinion, her lecture signified the codependency that science has with Art. Although art often is seen to be abstracted away from the various sciences, much of the inspiration behind artful pieces such as mrs. Lindman's depend on inspiration of science. Likewise, without artists and other creative thinkers, it is impossible to internalize such ideas and feelings
without the useful display of art.
Such examples not only enlighten me on the scientific applications to art, but also inspire me to possibly take a subject seemingly distant from art and draw meaningful and intensifying pieces of art.
One interesting, controversial, and yet revolutionary implementation, is the use of robots in art production. Using various programs involving randomized sampling in Statistics, computer programs can simulate various shapes, textures, and color combinations to plot on both 2D and 3D surfaces, thus offering more possibilities for jaw dropping pieces of art.
