The event " Weak or N o Signal"  was really visual and sound concentrated exhibition by the graduating class of 2018 at UCLA. They provided monitor and head sets for pretty much every crafts that they exhibited. According to the explanation of the exhibition articulated contemporary subject matters, from hyper-mediated social relationships to artificial intelligence, technological utopianism, and the increasing fallibility of the image. Since I am an Electrical Engineering major and considering artificial intelligence and machine learning as my future career, I was really interested in this topic. As soon as I enter the entrance, I could see this picture on the left it is called "(b)Latant Space: Facile Substance". As the first time looking at this art craft, I did not really capture the purpose of this piece. However, It was enough to grab my attention. I looked at the thing on the right, which made me think of biotech and neuroscience lectures since it looked

We are all different in shape, size, and DNA. However there is an underlying commonality that define body structure. This information is in a set of genes that is called Hox genes. All the living creatures have the Hox genes and the Chinese Zodiac is used as framework, therefore, we can relate ourselves to animals. The Hox Zodiac Wheel http://hoxzodiac.com/wheel/animals.html Since I was born in 1996, my animal is the Rat. Yin-Yang simply represent dark-bright, negative-positive, female-male. I am glad that I am a male and I have bright, positive characteristics. My organ is gallbladder, so that the rats can rule the gallbladder, which is a small organ where bile is stored until it is used in the small intestine. This reminded me of Week 6 topic, Biotech + Art. Rats are the most widely used animal to test and research. There is no doubt that rats have contributed to the Biology and Neuroscience. Rats are always used in any experiment that is to improve the medicine, healing, an

Solar System This lecture about the space and art which is pretty good topic to involve ideas from earlier topics from this course. Since space, aerospace engineering, is considered as high-end technology, and it has been developed pretty recently. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dPAmpBiVHY.\ Atomic Bomb on Kazakhstan www.cvce.eu In July 16, 1945 creation of the first atomic bomb came to fruition in the USA and was tested at the Alamogordo, New Mexico at a site called Trinity the atomic bomb at a site called Trinity. It was to end the World War II. On August 29 1949, the Soviet Union detonated its first atomic bomb at the Semipalatinsk in Kazakhstan. This event ends America's monopoly of atomic bomb and launches the Cold War in the 1950s. The first hydrogen bomb in 1952 beating the Russia. The Cold War was even more intensified in 1954, by announcing massive retaliation by USA which is basically saying that any Soviet attack will be responded with a massive nuclear bo

As mentioned earlier in the lecture videos, Nanotechnology is the branch of technology that deals with dimensions of less than 100 nano-meters, especially atoms and molecules. The Nanotechnology has the potential to change the world and it is actually changing the world, nowadays.

Scanning Tunneling Microscope is invented by Gerd Binning and Heinrich Rohrer. It is rastering to form an image of atoms so that it can actually form picture of structures of atom. Diamond and graphite are pure carbon atoms but they are totally different. The reason they are so different can be explained by looking at the structures of them with the scanning tunneling microscope.

First of all, It was interesting to see the relationship between neuroscience and art. Neuroscience is the study of structure or function of the nervous system and brain and art is the expression of human creatives. I thought they would not be related. However they are closely related to each other and interesting as well.  Franz Joseph Gall Ramon Y Cajal During the lecture video, Ramon Y Cajal and are introduce as critical in showing how brain looks and works with the correct idea. Franz is the first one to come up with an idea of cerebral functions to various areas of the brain.  Ramon is the founder of neuron anatomy that reads out the connection patterns with the neurons which looks beautiful and they are arranged in efficient way of communication as well.

By looking at his painting at a glance, it is indistinguishable from
