|
This week’s topic basically focusing on two aspects, namely medical to art and art to medical. I primarily focused on the lectures of this week to summarize and express my feelings and thoughts derived from those videos along with assigned readings. Medical industry is by far one of the most advanced technical field and the most arresting criteria. The importance of the medical needs no more emphasizing, as human, we need medicines to cure disease which is the most basic human needs. Moreover, as media and technology kicks in, “art” is performed by using of medical technology.
From medical technology to art, start with the era of “micro” in medical industry, scientists used varies technology which could help curing disease. For instance, the microscope, which enlarges cells and help scientists better understanding the behavior of specific cells. Art pieces are however created as scientists are increasingly able to manipulate cells motion, certain scientists who embrace the nature of art deep down creates paintings made of cells.
From art to medical technology, stimulated by helping people with disability or enjury which causes the damage to body, plastic surgery has now been highly developed. It’s human nature to adore beautiful things, especially beautiful men and women. However, as human beings, no one is perfect and therefore lead to great development of plastic surgery. The combination of art with medical technology accurately defines how medical technology is emphasized by using of art. Also, a tremendous number of television channels and web pages have established to promote medical education or knowledge. The interaction between people and media, such as internet and television created perfect condition for better merge of medical technology and media.

I really like your idea about how art and medication affect each other in various ways. Medication and technology has been act as a component to perform art since the early 20th century. The era of "micro" has also been contributed to both cure the disease of human beings and also created a new form of art.
