Nanotechnology provides an impeccable synergy of art, technology, and science. The science being the study of items so microscopic that they are invisible to the human eye. What that requires is the use of advanced technology such as the Scanning Tunneling Microscope. Through tactical sensation and feel, the technology creates an image of items at the smallest of nanometers. This image is essentially art. The intertwined use of multiple fields undermine a general growing trend of the global world where there has been a growing intermingling of people, ideas, and sciences. While viewing all the material from this week, I recognized in ways that nanotechnology is similar to biotechnology. For example the ability to change a nanoparticle from opaque to transparent is akin to genetically modifying the color of flowers or fruits in biotechnology. The most thought provoking topic of the reading was the future implications of nanotechnology. The concept that it will spurt robot technology to

Biotechnology is an integral aspect of modern science and exemplifies the union of science and art. The very essence of biotechnology is tweaking an organism at its biological core. Through the manipulation of genes through certain drugs, experiments, hormones, etc., it is akin to take a brush painting over a picture. In doing biotechnology has led to the cross organize genetic engineering as studied during this week. Examples of these include artificially injecting genes into animals and even as far as human DNA inside a plant. However, the field does come with its concern. One of the most controversial field of biotechnology is tweaking the genetic makeup of an embryo to produce the exact babies parents desire. Someone would be able to change anything from physical attributes to potentially making their kids smarter through genetic modification. With the advancement of technology progressing at an exponential rate, future technology would allow biotechnology to a

It’s hard to find a field that stands unilaterally in our ever-merging world. Fields that were considered opposites have find common ground and has been a running theme of this course. Now we long onto medicine, technology, and art. According to Professor Mangione at Thomas Jefferson University, students with more “right brain” qualities are becoming more successful in today’s “digital, image-based world of medicine.” These right brain qualities relate to imagery, visual and drawing skills. Understanding medicine and anatomy requires to a strong sense of visual awareness and attention to detail, both traits that can be learned through art. Another example is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Relatively new technology, an MRI lets doctor essentially create portraits of the human body. It shows how the advancement of technology has led to changes in medicine that presents a crossover with art. All the imagery and visual stimuli in medicine and the need to decipher and understand it, the
