Perspectives- Week 4 (re-edited for pictures)

Noa's exhibit was faciniting, mainly because of the fact that her artwork brought such a different perspetive to things in our daily lives. Her pieces like the huge dust bunny forced us to examine these objects on a really miniscule level, to be able to really get close and see the different textures of the subject. Other works like the enlarged pollen grain made us view the final product of honey differently, as it imposed the bee's task of fertilizing flowers and making honey onto our daily human lives. I think this said a lot about the importance of relativity and perspective.

Self, Meet Body

I was fascinated by Noa’s exhibition. I think she achieved her goal of making us more aware of the everyday things we take for granted. The oversized coffee, pollen, and sugar reminded me of the beauty inherent in the things we consume every day, and of the beauty of the natural world that we remove them from. I feel compelled to live a less wasteful life after seeing her work, especially the pollen grain.

Medical Technology + Art + Noa Kaplan

     I did some research to find examples of art intertwining with medical technology and discovered thrilling programs, the medical avatar and the medical mirror. The medical avatar is a 3D representation of the human body which can process the medical record of a patient and adjust its computer visualization to reflect that patient’s unique internal anatomy.
