Whether it may be the Milky Way, Medusa Nebula, or even the
sight of the Moon, space will forever be light years of galaxies and unknown
planets waiting to be discovered. As we finally close out this blog, I feel as
if the entire class really helped boil down to this point of space and art. The
relationship between the other blog topics can be defined as concrete and
definite; whereas space deals with the “unknown” and fulfilling human
curiosity. We’ve covered topics from math to culture to nanotechnology, all in
which have endless amount of theories and facts to back up their own well
beings. Although multiple parties, industries, and organizations dedicate their
time and effort to space and its life, why does it seem as if the world of art
is more so drawn to space in comparison to the others? This is because space
combines it all.
It’s
ironic how space combines the other topics into one relation to art for space is
merely the void between the celestial planets themselves. With this void is
what draws human curiosity (neuroscience); it’s with this void that astronauts
make precise calculations on destinations and missions (mathematics); it’s
because of this void that more and more technological development has increased
the past century (technology). We see that art’s mission is to define all the
voids in life by expressing every bit of life’s aspect. But how does one go
about expressing a void? This is where space comes into play with art. Art
unravels the very mysteries of life that we have yet to find existent. Space
gives us clues on how to unravel the unknown by celestial bodies and galaxies
that we now express through multiple variations of art. Maybe that is the
purpose of life, to never fully discover all that is needed to discover but
rather to enjoy the process and passions you find along the way. Just as if one
were to travel in space, might as well enjoy the view rather than focusing on
an end destination.
Considering it's the last blog post, I just wanted to say Thank you Professor Vesna and all the TAs for offering such
an amazing course during my last quarter here at UCLA. I am now ready to enter
the real world of the “unknown” and looking forward to my journey.
