week 5: Midterm assignment

In my presentation, I discussed the issue of plastic pollution and its impact on the environment. To combat this problem, iI proposed 5 proposals that involve creating art from single-use plastic. The purpose of these proposals is to increase awareness about plastic pollution and inspire individuals to take action toward reducing their plastic consumption. 

Here's the link to my PowerPoint. 

Week 6: Neurofeedback and Meditation

Cristina Albu, today's guest lecturer, discussed artworks inspired by the pleasing appearance of neural systems and their dynamic activity. She claims that the artists' original coupling of numerous forms of expression and merging of concepts from phenomenology, biofeedback experimentation, cybernetic theories, and Southeast Asian philosophies is responsible for the artworks' diversity.

Neuroscience and Art

This week's presentation by Cristina Albu was especially interesting to me as a Neuroscience major. The intersection of such a diverse, complicated field with art and emotion I believe is something that could prove beneficial to research in this field, especially given how important social factors are in brain development and change. However, quantifying emotions and feelings between two individuals is extremely difficult and something we have yet to grasp. 

Midterm- The Troubling Harmony of Plastic and Marine Creatures
