I really enjoyed Dana Plautz's lecture today! The way she defined this new media was fascinating because its something that continually changes. Change created often by the collaboration between artist and scientist. "New Media provides a new common ground between art, technology, and science." But most importantly, "its the connection you make through it". The connection between artist and scientist is very interesting. In the E.A.T. short video, the narrator expressed how the two are complementing to one another. One is imaginative and creative while the other is empirical and calculating. Yet they both share so many similarities: exploration into the unknown, experimentation, observation, openness, analysis, and the process of discovery. This lecture brings me back to the idea I had several years ago of incorporating nanotechnology with various building materials as to development an architectural element that through the use of electrical signals, you can create shapes and shape-shifting walls, panels, and the alike.
