Hardware Reading
Let the Problem of the Mind Dissolve in Your mind
The author holds the point that science fiction is in the service of science, or just science if you agree that fiction is part of it. Following he provided three vehicle exercises which I found really interesting. I like vehicle 3 the most because I think it's fascinating that the vehicle can only be excited by the things it smells or sees or feels or hears. "What comes to mind is to introduce some inhibition in the connections between the sensors and the motors, switching the sign of the influence from positive to negative. This will let the motor slow down when the corresponding sensor is activated." This vehicle really inspired me a lot. After last week's lecture I was really confused about the hardware project because I'm really so bad at technology. After reading the assigned articles i found technology can also improve the way we create art as well. just the matter of time for us to learn and use it properly.
Auto-Destructive Art
Metzger discussed auto-destructive art in the article. It can be created with natural forces, traditional art techniques and technological techniques. I agree with the idea that auto-destructive art is the transformation of technology into public art, and auto creative art is art of change, growth movement. It is common today to see auto-destructive art in our lives. Although I prefer traditional art more, but I think I will try to understand and learn more about the destructive art.
