| Megan Lindeman & the Hunter Green piece |
This week I went to LASER on the 5th floor of CNSI at UCLA. First there was an introduction by Ana Jofre, she presented research on Introduction to Magnetism. She expressed that she wanted to contribute to culture more than just making measurements of molecules, she discussed how magnets work & electric forces and fields. Then I saw Megan Lindeman, who was an artists speaking about how neuro chemistry enters her heart. She presented a piece called Hunter Green where she discussed it was made from oxytocin and water color based paint. Megan said that oxytocin has subtle effect on the color over time. The main speech of the event was Walter Gekelman and he discussed plasma & molecules, atoms and how heat plays a part in positive and negative charges. I enjoyed this event because I got to first hand physically see how an artist is influenced by science. As well as how scientists take the time to communicate to artists about their findings. It was a great experience and I did not even know that there are events between artists and scientists before enrolling in this class.
