Robotics + Art             I was amazed to learn how long art and robotics have been coexisting and contributing to each other’s evolution. According to the Robotics + Art lecture by Victoria Vesna, artist have been drawing the physical structure of robots since the early 1900s that created industrialization. This machinery would become vital to mass production in many forms. One of the first successful machines prior industrialization was the printing press between 1440-1450. The creator Johannes Gutenberg was the first to mass produce the bible. The knowledge of reproduction spread and since has become a form of open source for the public. With a little knowledge and a ton of effort people started to replicate their own printing systems and other machine based items. The explosion of mass production has continued for centuries and there is no sign of it slowing down. Cars, planes, art, weapons, clothes, food, almost anythi...

The piece includes 2000 MRI scans of her hands and forearms reaching up on plexi glass. The combination of technology and medicine create a powerful objet of art. The MRI machine assembles high resolution internal images that help doctors pinpoint dama...
