DESMA 9 Week 6

Biotechnology has always been an extremely controversial field, especially since the damning documentary entitled “The World According to Monsanto” which highlighted the dangers of using biotechnology. One example of biotechnology gone wrong would be the genetically modified(GMO) wheat, produced by Monsanto. The “super crop” is now a pest in many farms in the United States, since its genetically modified resistance makes the plant hard to kill. Another example would be the bovine growth hormone which Monsanto injected into cows to increase milk production. Unfortunately, this resulted in horrific side effects, like pus growing in the udders of cows. Said pus is then found in the milk produced by the cows. More importantly, due to the udders becoming more susceptible to infection, cows injected with the hormone end up dying. Given the above, it was interesting and yet deeply disturbing for me to learn that artists are dabbling into biotechnology. Side effect of the growth hormon...

DESMA 9 Week 8

The first time I learned about nanotechnology was in Secondary 2, the Grade 8 equivalent in the British system. I was intrigued to learn that elements have different properties at nanoscopic levels. Serendipitously, it also answered my question regarding waterless urinals, since those work due to nanoscopic particles coating the urinal surface which bond to urea. Hence, this week’s lecture served more as a reminder than an introduction into the fascinating world of nanoparticles. Electron Microscope Image of Carbon Monoxide Nevertheless, Professor Vesna’s lecture reminded me of pictures from an electron microscope, specifically, the “Quantum Corrals” which, true to its similar namesake, looked like sea corals. The initial image produced from the tunnelling electron microscope is black and white. Color is then added via computer programs to made the image more intuitive. While that fact might be easily glossed over, it also serves as an example of how art coexist and even ben...
