Coming into this class I didn’t really know what to expect on the topic of biotechnology and art for this course. After watching many videos posted on the course website, along with reading articles online, I now have a better understanding of this course. I find it very interesting how intertwined biology is in our everyday life. From the food we eat to the clothes we wear everything is constructed from cells.
When I first enrolled in this class I had no idea what to expect. Before watching the lectures, the intersection of biotechnology and art conjured up images of microscopic bacteria or plants and I thought this class would be limited to analyzing works such as the picture below, which shows a GaN nano-flower that was recorded using a field emission scanning electron microscope.
