    I liked your project concept, however I did have one question. Would the music played come from the user's own created playlists within some application launched with the device, or would the music be chosen from all available songs within the application's database (like Pandora)?

      There are various ways of getting music off the internet and collaborating with those applications like Spotify definitely is an option. The core of this project is the software algorithms that helps to choose the musics and the bracelet to detect physiological changes. So it is supposed to work with some kind of music database. Sorry that I did not made it clear in the presentation.

Medicine and Art

Medicine and art? When I first looked at the topic of this week, I was like “what”. Even till now, I am still quite confused about how are this two areas related. So this made me go back to the very beginning of the class and look for the meaning of art. When I looked up the Oxford dictionary, art is very much related to creativity and imagination and not specific to visual. So far, we have been constrained to the visual arts. Thus, this week’s topic is a branching out to the less discussed side of art. With a fresh understanding in mind, medicine and med-tech are definitely parts of art. Medical drawing “have been made possibly since the beginning of medicine”.   Human body is a complex system where organs works hand in hand. A carefully drawn medical drawing can correctly depict our internal structures. Especially when the majority of us have the common structure, these drawings allows the doctors to “see” through our body without actually opening us up. Nowadays, with the...

Event Blog

The first event I attended was a series of talks on the topic of Eco Materialism and Contemporary Art. The main focus has been on the social and environmental issues and how are they being portrayed with modern arts.  I arrived the auditorium while during the talk by Ms. Linda Weintraub was talking about the praying robots. It was a really interesting topic about Eco-Arts and was very closely related to our readings. Her key point was about technology advancement and human’s dependency on technology. Indeed, since the industrialization revolution, we have enjoyed so much benefits from the technology advancements and are believing in technology more blindly than ever. Robots are tireless and precise at work which make them a better choice than human. Under the current technology, we cannot employ robots to do everything. However, as technology continue to grow, more automation of industry will happen and eventually a full automation society may be achieved. What happen to u...

2 Cultures

Image
Science and art were once regarded as separate components of live. Especially during C.P. Snow’s time, thus he used the term, “two cultures”(1). However separable and unrelated they may be, according to Snow, these two “galaxies” will always have a, “clashing point” (17). Like the photo on the left, although there is a distinct boundary between the Baltic Sea and North Sea, taking a photo of it then explain it with science is a perfect illustration of the joint power of the two cultures. Indeed, art and science meet at our daily lives. As students at UCLA, regardless of our major, we are forced to take the numerous General Education courses which are designed to expose us to the different aspects of our world. Although we have the North and South campus saying, all students have been to both side of campus for various class. Also, in Victoria Vesna’s article Towards a Third Culture and Kevin Kelly’s article The Third Culture , they introduced technology as the “in-between” t...
