Space + Art
In my opinion, space will always have a strong relationship with art because there are so many unknowns to it. Throughout this quarter I have learned that artists have been inspired by the unknown and like to put their own spin, or interpretation on it by producing their unique pieces. Therefore, as our technology improves and we learn more about space, space inspired art will continue to grow with it. Space has also influenced other fields of art, especially in pop culture throughout various television shows and movies, and as we learn more about space, these products will just increase in accuracy of their depiction of space.
It is astounding to me the progress that space exploration has made throughout history. Early astronomers and physicists had early theories based on educated guesses, they didn't have the same technology that we have today, and somehow weren't too far off from some of the truths that space has to offer. 
One instance where outer space is portrayed in the movies is in "The Martian"

Hi Tomas,
ReplyDeleteI thought it was really cool that you referenced the Martian in your post. I recently just saw that movie and can see how it human fascination with space really comes through in that movie. We've come a long way since movies first started being made in space. The Martian even encompasses Konstantin Tsiolkovsky's dream of a space station that includes its own greenhouse, just as the main character grows potatoes in his makeshift greenhouse for survival. Great post.
