Desma Event 1: Getty Museum

    
    On Sunday of week 4, April 24, 2016. I visited the Getty Museum as my first event for class. I have been to Getty Museum several times before. However, this is my first time to think about the meanings of science and art as I have been learned.

    I was trying to find interaction between the two cultures in everything I saw. Firstly, something I saw interesting in the structure of Getty Museum was that there are many square windows. The angle structure of buildings are symmetry no matter where you observe. This is evident that it represent some geometric design. I can observe the shapes that involves the Golden Ratio from many perspectives.

    
    Another point I like the most is the exhibition called “In Focus: Electric!” . There are many photographs of “artificial illumination”. This exhibition is to show how artists have incorporated technological progress in their work. It illustrates the thoughts of C.P Snow and shows that the real beauty is the combination of the two cultures. Unfortunately inside gallery no photos were allowed.

   

    The Getty is absolutely a wonderful place to see how artists use science and art to create many fascinating artwork. I would also recommend this event for my classmates.
