Kinetic Art
- 2. The Stereotypical Engineer • Over-worked • Technical • Management • Creativity is not the highest priority The reason this myth persists is because most engineers believe it is true too! They seem to think that their jobs are, in fact, non- creative.
- 4. Solving problems (whether technical or not) requires creativity and inspiration.
- 5. Engineering = Aesthetics + Design + Performance
- 6. “Exposure to the Liberal and the Fine Arts is important to the education of engineers, but not just to make them better members of society. Such exposure is important, because it will make them better engineers.” - Sue Kemnitzer, the deputy division director for education in the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Engineering Education and Centers.
- 8. Typical Student Problems •Putting together a thought for an argument in an essay or report •Debugging a computer problem •Dealing with unfriendly customers at a part-time job •Managing one’s budget until the end of the term/semester • ENDLESS HOMEWORK!!! Good problem solving skills area important in showing a recruiter that you have RESILIENCE to handle the challenges and pressure that work and life may bring. d/dt(Persistence ) = RESILENCE
- 10. DETERMINATION = to make things happen and constantly look for better ways of doing things CREATIVITY
- 11. How do you express an idea in terms of color, shape and texture? How do you express the feeling of falling in mathematical terms? How do you express your clients design criteria in terms of executable variables? Sometimes you need a PARADIGM SHIFT
- 12. Paradigm Shift = Revolutionary Science “ a change in the basic assumptions, or paradigms, within the ruling theory of science” –Thomas Kuhn
- 13. PARADIGM SHIFTS = REVOLUTIONARY SCIENCE = WAVES OF INNOVATION
- 14. Paradigm Shifts and Society: Teleworking •Dame Stephanie "Steve" Shirley •Pioneered home working in the computer industry in the early 1960s •Exclusively employed women in a flexible, home-based, job-sharing approach “It’s inconceivable now but at the time I had to get my husband’s permission before I could open a bank account,” –Dame Shirley
- 17. Art created by Engineers Alexander Calder Theo Jensen Andrew Werth
- 18. “Strandbeest”
- 19. “Art is like the skin on an animatronic dinosaur and engineering gives it life.” Lorraine Lin, Computer Science student
- 21. Alexander Calder Eagle, Olympic Sculpture Park, Seattle, WA • maintained a sharp eye with respect to the engineering balance of the sculptures •Studied and worked as a Mechanical Engineer for many years before moving into art and sculpture.
- 23. How we make sense of the world is directly shaped by the physical nature of our bodies EMOBODIEMENT Andrew Werth
- 25. PERSPECTIVE ADDING ART TO THE EVERY DAY: PHOTOGRAPHY
- 26. ADDING ART TO THE EVERY DAY: you and your friends! Acro Yoga! Make funny shadows!
- 27. ADDING ART TO THE EVERY DAY: Art Museums Baltimore Museum of Art (free admission )
- 28. THANK YOU.
Editor's Notes
- Kevin Moore from Ignite Seattle
- One of the things that I noticed is that I never defined persistence. Persistence is not giving up. I think with having everything at our finger tips nowaydays, and if we don’t get the answer the first time we sometimes tend to give up.
- So can anyone do the math for me? How are persistence and determination related? Yes, determination is the second derivative of persistence. Thank you!
- In order to be creative we need to change something. Sometimes that something is the very basis on which we rely. In Engineering and Science it would be fundamental theories and patterns of working.
- Kuhn Made several notable claims concerning the progress of scientific revolution: that scientific fields undergo periodic “paradigm shifts” rather than solely progressing in a linear and continuous way These
- Stephanie displayed an aptitude for science but life was not easy for a working woman in the Fifties. She began at the Post Office, but quickly realised that the glass ceiling was far too low. In 1962 she set up a technology company with just £6. “It’s inconceivable now but at the time I had to get my husband’s permission before I could open a bank account,” she laughs. When her company peaked in the 1980s, she was worth £150 million. So, at a time when computers were half the size of a room, she started her own software company, later rebranded as Xansa. She almost exclusively employed women, and her flexible, home-based, job-sharing approach was revolutionary. Today, In the US, 24% of employed people report working from home at least some hours each week, according to the Bureau of Labour Statistics.
- Yesterday I went to a really interesting talk about biomimcry and the professor giving the talk talked about the way in which you can look at a problem: biology based or problem based; well this is that idea stripped down.
- So stop being deductive and start being inductive; stop using preexisting laws and theories
