Intersections Art and Science

                                                                                    Art and Science my two loves. When they are combined together  it is pure magic and alluring to the eyes and soul. Though these two are very complimentary to each other, they can also be very contrasting as well. As I was digging deep into the combination of these two ideas I stumbled upon a very compelling article. An article called How Art and Science Intersect by Zayan Guedim. What I found super fascinating was how he mentioned Steve Jobs. Zayan mentions how Steve Jobs was known for his artistically scientific approach to the Apple products that were created. As Zayan says Jobs considered computers as a work of art. I believe this 100%. In my eyes, the way the format and models of t...

JPL Visit 2

On our second trip to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory campus, the majority of the day was focused on the tree of life project being run by the arts team. We had many of our questions answered about the project, and witnessed first-hand the process the team takes in generating and refining their projects based on the research and findings of the NASA scientists. My main question in regards to the tree of life dealt with how the team planned to create a cube-sat which had the ability to last the duration of the project, 200 years, since no such thing has ever been done before. My favorite brainstorming session activity was writing down every question we had about the project on sticky notes and putting them up on the wall. I wish our questions had all been answered because I think the project is still very early on and a lot of people had really great questions to ask. We briefly viewed a few of the things we had seen during the first visit, including the clean room with the more-develop...

Blog #7: JPL -Sophie Ungless

The majority of our time during this visit to JPL consisted of working with the A-Team to go over the Tree of Life project, which we were introduced to during our first visit last month. The last time we learned about it, I left feeling really confused about exactly what the project was and how it has relevance, so being able to inquire more on this trip was helpful. That being said, though, I am still having a hard time wrapping my head around what the goal of the mission is. It's clear that they were inspired by how we can eventually create a mission that has the ability to arrive at Proxima B, and the drive behind the Tree of Life is this idea of time and longevity. However, the team still doesn't seem clear about how the information they gain from this project can be applied to a future mission involving Proxima B. Or if they do know, they aren't effectively articulating it to the general public, which I believe is going to be vital for keeping interest in the 200 year ...
