Event 3

This past weekend I visited the Noise Aquarium at UCLA University. In my opinion, I found this aquarium rather confusing but non the less still interesting. I think that the Noise Aquarium relates most to the Biotech + Art section in this quarter. I think this because the creativity from Professor Vesna, in creating a presentation through standing on a pressure pad in the center of the room, which then triggered a random form of plankton type to show up on screen, which also triggered the sounds and noises from the pollution from which those plankton made up. Below is a picture of myself standing in the noise aquarium enjoying myself watching and listening to the various sounds of nature through Professor Vesna's presentation.

Professor Vesna's creativity created a presentation that allowed the person standing on the pressure palate to be surrounded by noises and feel what it would feel like to be surrounded by those plankton from the pollution, which also made it easier for the person standing on the pressure plate to receive a greater understanding for which plankton showed up onscreen. Therefore, Professor Vesna created an informative lesson with the addition of artwork in technology that allowed the person using the system to learn about the certain type of plankton, through noises, appearance, as well as information our professor was giving about all the plankton that showed up on screen. Below is a picture of one of the plankton types that showed up on screen.

Overall, I think I enjoyed this experience and found this to be very helpful. The Noise Aquarium taught me a great deal about plankton and pollution and the various noises made from these plankton through the pollution. I would definitely recommend this aquarium to my classmates as well as friends because I think the information I learned about the plankton taught me a great deal about the pollution and also showed me visually in person the relationship between Biotech and art and how they can work together to create a very informative and creative and fun experience all together.
