Week 9: Space and Arts
Fascination of space has originated from ancient times and extended to the real exploration nowadays. Vesna demonstrates that the exploration of space starts from Roman times through revolution of Heliocentrism and finally becomes true during the cold war period, which inspires scientists and even large companies to further explore cosmic ocean.
Moreover, there are certain benefits contained in the exploration of space. In Benefits Stemming from Space, International Space Exploration Coordination Group regarded innovation, culture and inspiration, and new means to address the global challenge as certain advantages of the space exploration. Besides the authority, Claudia Assis states that more and more private companies make their investments on space projects in "these are the companies to watch in space exploration."
In addition to the obsession with the space exploration, experts and scientists should also focus on popularization of knowledge on cosmos. NASA will hold a 50th anniversary on the Apollo 11 mission which demonstrate the significance of Armstrong's landing and space acknowledgement. Moreover, a considerable amount of artists utilize space elements in their artworks. For example, Richard Clar's unique artistic vision generates high-visibility projects that transform state-of-the-art technology and highly-engineered materials into evocative contemporary art.
Based on those artworks and analysis listed above, we can clearly see the importance of space exploration todays from diverse perspective. I took Astronomy 3 taught by Dr. Alice Shapley at UCLA, which talks about the zodiac. Zodiac itself is a scientific discovery but employed in astrology or personality test. At this moment, I realize those are perfect example of combination of arts and science.
