Space + Art

When we talk about space, most of the people would think of astronomy or space between objects. It is very abstract and untouchable to us, not to mention it is very difficult to describe . I am pretty sure we will not think of something related to art. Yet, the lecture in this week give me a new thought of the relationship between art and space.

I have read several articles and website in this week and I found the articles very useful to get to know more about the definition of space. Among those articles, I am impressed about Cultural Space Program. The articles basically illustrate the interaction between space, art, science and humanities and how they are interdependent on each other. This program encourage development and research of space. Additionally, it enables application of art in space such as human methodology. KSEVT realized that it is crucial to implement artistic practice in space according to the trend. It can also create a technological-cultural environment. This article influence me the most since it explained different aspects of space and why people think space actually connect to art. I have never thought that space is related to art because it does not seem like they have correlation. Through the article, I have some new vision about space and art. I realized that we can use other method to comprehend space such as cultural and artistic way. When we use another view to look at space and art, the result could be different. As a matter of fact, technology, science, humanity and art influence each other. This article exactly exemplify the connection between each other and make me acknowledge that we can educate the youth about the new perspective of space. It isn’t just about science and technology, but also cultural and humanism. In fact, science and art have inseparable relations, which we may not notice before.   

Generally speaking, space is a deep knowledge and it certainly requires intelligence of human to discover more and more mystery inside it. Meanwhile, it also indicates tremendous improvement of human beings and how they are able to apply existing technology to explore our universe.
