In other years students will be on the ground for installation of a work: learning how skills in design, civil engineering, material science, electrical engineering or other fields intersect with the complex task of installing a work of art.

Given the potential presence of hazardous substances such as lead and mercury from the inks and the wide-spread use of cinnabar in Chinese colorants, we wanted to confirm whether the woodblocks in our collection contained them or not. Our historical knowledge suggested it was likely, but scientific tools could confirm it with certainty.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EX-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy is a common technique in elemental analysis of artifacts because it is non-destructive and, depending on the instrument, can house larger samples than typically possible with other elemental analysis techniques. This technique bombards an object with high-energy X-rays and measures the characteristic X-rays that come off from specific elements in the material. Using a Bruker M4 Torndado Plus XRF at the MCF, we obtained elemental maps of both black and red woodblocks. The elemental maps are made by measuring the characteristic X-rays of different elements over a surface and one micrometer deep into an object.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn the black Chinese woodblock (Figure 4 and 5), besides the abundance of oxygen (O) and carbon (C) there were trace amounts of several different elements. However, we found relatively higher concentrations of aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), and iron (Fe). As seen in the elemental map (Figure 6), these were noticeably present in the spaces between the characters and raised areas for the print.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFrom the elemental spectra of red woodblock samples (Figure 7), peaks for mercury and lead were detected (Figure 8). This means that the red woodblocks were found to contain lead and mercury (Figure 8 and 9) and red pigments are likely cinnabar and red lead.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EWhy this Matters\u003C\/h3\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EConservation, with the use of analytical techniques, broadens our understanding of artifacts, their history, and how to protect them and museum staff and visitors. In collaboration with the MCF and microscopy and elemental analysis, Paper Museum staff were able learn more about the physical qualities of Chinese woodblocks in our collection. Through microscopy, we saw unexpected features and materials that we could not otherwise see, including paper fibers, hair, and sand. We learned what elements are present in the inks and surface of the woodblocks, including potentially hazardous ones such as lead and mercury. This changes the way we handle and take care of the artifacts.

Other faculty who engaged with the artists by discussing their research include: Chethan Pandarinath, assistant professor, Annabelle Singer, assistant professor, Garrett Stanley, professor, and Lena Ting, professor, in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University; and Doby Rahnev, associate professor in the School of Psychology at Georgia Tech.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ERozell, who has been with the project since its inception, states:\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;Science and technology research is pushing us to the boundaries of what we know about the human brain, and that forces us to wrestle with ideas that are insufficiently described by our current language. The arts can help us process this emerging understanding in new ways that go beyond language and can do it by creating something beautiful that we can celebrate as a uniquely human experience.

Throughout this three-year journey we have had the opportunity to see artists, faculty, and graduate students learn from each other and inspire each other, and been able to invite our campus and community to join in this process. The arts provide these unique experiences, these encounters that nurture new ideas and new ways to understand cutting edge research and the human condition.

He graduated from the Institute of Paper Chemistry in 1952, and supported the Institute as a board member and advocate for the paper industry. Through the Mead Witter Foundation, led by George Mead, the Paper Museum was able to establish classroom space in the early 2000s for hands-on experiences, and the George Mead Education Center, which serves as additional exhibition space focused on the industrialization of paper.

While I don\u0026rsquo;t think the Institute or its graduates can take the credit for having created the technolical upsurge that has taken place since 1928 or so, the fact is that it couldn\u0026rsquo;t have taken place without the Institute graduates out there to implement it, to help put it into place. The Institute\u0026rsquo;s influence on the industry is probably as great as any institution could have possibly had.\u0026rdquo; He served as Board Chair of the Institute in 1989 \u0026ndash; 1990, when the Institute moved to Atlanta from Appleton, Wisconsin.

The twins are the great-great-great grandsons of David Hall, a Black farmer in Dallas Country, AL who offered his land to the movement as the first campsite of the Selma-Montgomery march. When Tracey, who is not a crier, got emotional when she saw her grandfather\u0026#39;s image at the Smithsonian and photographed the monitor to send to her grandmother, Mr. Hall\u0026#39;s daughter, there was a sense we may have done something right.

After the team\u0026rsquo;s interactions with patrons at the ACCelerate Festival, they began to consider how to expand and extend the project. She said, \u0026ldquo;In our future installations we would like to explore creative ways that we might collectively shape the environment through reflection upon and reorientation of our bodies. For example, what if you could enter a dance floor and be able to change the light and music together with other dancers by changing the intensity of your movements and your breath?

Williams Museum of Papermaking. The museum proposed a condition survey of a selection of objects since the institution has a significant collection of these materials that have not been closely examined in some time. Interest by historians and anthropologists into these types of objects has increased in the last ten years, since objects and traditions from indigenous cultures that have been excluded from many historical narratives. In addition, the majority of the objects in the museum\u0026rsquo;s collection were collected in the first half of the twentieth century by paper historian Dard Hunter and are strong examples of bark paper from the era and earlier.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat is Bark Paper?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBark papers, tapa, and amatl are a paper-like material made by cultures around the world and have a history closely intertwined with papermaking. Known by different names depending on where in the world it is made, these objects share characteristics in production and materials. The inner bark of a mulberry plant is beaten into a pulp by hand using a tool\u0026mdash;either stone or wood. Some of the tools have grooves, others are smooth. Sheets are formed by flattening the pulp into a thin layer. Decorative elements can be included in manufacture by flattening the pulp over raised designs on boards or mats. Scholarly interest in tapa, amatl, and other kinds of bark papers have grown in recent years, which was a motivating factor in reviewing the condition of the collection and determining how to best take care of it for the future.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThe Survey Process\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe museum worked with conservator Stephanie Watkins to perform the condition survey of objects in the collection. Watkins has been a paper conservator for over 35 years and has familiarity with the museum\u0026rsquo;s collection since she was on the collection survey team before the museum moved to Atlanta in 1989. \u0026nbsp;She brings a wealth of knowledge as well as real-world understanding of resources available for the collection to the project.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ETo prepare for the condition survey, museum staff pulled records from the collections database, which resulted in about 100 records. Staff then began gathering objects into a staging area in museum storage. While pulling objects, additional bark paper pieces were identified and included for review by the conservator. The total number of pieces surveyed ended up being just under 350: 277 bark papers, 27 tools, 10 plant samples, 4 copies of \u003Cem\u003EPrimitive Papermaking \u003C\/em\u003Eby Dard Hunter, 24 objects on exhibit, and 15 objects of undetermined nature. Museum director Virginia Howell worked with Stephanie to create a workflow that would enable her to review all the pieces in a timely manner. The result was to look at the tools first, since they are small and not too many to observe. Then the books by Dard Hunter, followed by the actual bark paper samples, from smallest to largest.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWhen the actual condition survey happened in November, the procedure was adjusted to examine the largest pieces midway-through, rather than at the end. This change was made for adequate time to unroll and closely examine large pieces from their storage rack. An additional preparation step was to indicate which storage box pieces were removed from so the return would be simple. Creating written documentation for every step allows museum staff to tie objects to records and to locations. Watkins created a checklist to speed the process of evaluating pieces: double-check dimensions, describe appearance, and indicate any marks or tears on the piece. Condition issues, such as evidence of insects, dirt, fading from light exposure, and other issues were also documented. Accession numbers were double-checked, and all information was entered into a large spreadsheet.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAfter reviewing all of the pieces, Watkins created an extensive document for the museum that contaned her analysis of the objects and broke down conservation needs. While no piece is in immediate danger of destruction, there are pieces needing additional supports and more secure housing. She also provided suggestions for alternative pieces to exhibit in the museum gallery. Some artifacts have been on exhibit for many years and are brittle and fragile as a result. Museum staff is using Watkins\u0026rsquo;s recommendations to determine what will be the best outcome for these pieces. Thorough documentation for rolled storage and flat storage takes into account space limitations in collections storage, as well as the necessity to have cost-efficient solutions.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDiscoveries\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe most important take-away from the project is that the collection is in stable condition: there is no evidence of insect damage or mold, and the pieces are currently housed in a safe manner. The second observation is that the Paper Museum has a much larger collection than the electronic database suggested. By bringing all the pieces together and focusing on them, staff were able to see connections between pieces: beater marks visible on bark paper samples matched the lines carved into tools. Large examples of bark paper had samples cut out\u0026mdash;which were then found in \u003Cem\u003EPrimitive Papermaking\u003C\/em\u003E. Some of the tapa pieces are very large, approximately 6 feet wide and 12 feet long or 18\u0026rdquo; wide and 21\u0026rsquo; long. We were able to fully unroll them and see them in a single view, an action which has not been done in at least a decade. Watkins also identified several bark papers that were housed in different locations that belong together\u0026mdash;we could re-associate pieces that had been separated over time. The full picture of the collection is much clearer to museum staff, and we are able to share more about what we know with the public. The historic legacy of the collection is also in clearer view. Being able to trace the tool that created a particular piece to the object to its description and inclusion in \u003Cem\u003EPrimitive Papermaking\u003C\/em\u003E is a complete story.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ENext Steps\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFrom here, museum staff plan to follow through on the suggestions from the report. New housing for large objects will be constructed, and smaller pieces will be stored in suitably -sized archival boxes in a single area in collections. We are also developing an online exhibit to show the objects in the collection. The condition reports will augment the known history of the pieces. Museum staff are now more knowledgeable about bark papers, and are able to translate this content into programs and exhibits. An additional benefit is the outline of the survey steps will be utilized for reviewing further selections in the museum collection. \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":[{"value":"NEH grant provides support to care for Paper Museum collection"}],"field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Nearly 350 objects were surveyed to assess condition and care needs and build more understanding of collection."}],"uid":"30829","created_gmt":"2022-04-25 16:56:34","changed_gmt":"2022-04-25 16:57:20","author":"Virginia Howell","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2022-03-01T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2022-03-01T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"657551":{"id":"657551","type":"image","title":"Tapa condition survey","body":null,"created":"1650905424","gmt_created":"2022-04-25 16:50:24","changed":"1650905424","gmt_changed":"2022-04-25 16:50:24","alt":"Image depicts two people looking at a large, paper-like object with brown designs.

Members were invited to interpret the theme of \u0026ldquo;wildlife\u0026rdquo; in any way they wish, be it literal or abstract, humorous or serious. In a biological sense, wildlife describes the myriad of creatures sharing this planet, interacting and adapting, all connected to each other and their environment. \u0026quot;Wild\u0026quot; also describes an untamable essence that survives despite the constraints of society and culture. As craftspeople, knowledge of materials and keen observation of how they behave (and often how they refuse to comply) is an integral part of the practice of book making, and a reminder of how traditional bookbinding materials originate in nature.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWorks include fine and edition bindings, artists books, broadsides (letterpress printing, calligraphy, and decorative papermaking) and historical binding models.

In designing \u0026quot;Chip Off the Ole Block,\u0026rdquo; he explained that he thought of it as shrubbery parading as architecture, and wanted to reflect the cityscape of Atlanta with its stair-stepping design.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe materials used to build the sculpture are mostly sweetgum that was sourced by volunteers at Serenbe, a community located in Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia. Dougherty said these sweetgum saplings were regrowth occurring in a field under larger pines. Flexibility and sustainability are both important factors in his selection of building materials, and he notes that these saplings will grow again once cut. The sculpture is expected to last one to two years before the materials start to decompose.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis project was made possible by the Kendeda Fund and was sponsored by Georgia Tech Arts, the Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design, and Serenbe.

Since 2010, Dean has worked as an artist assistant in Denmark (Folk Art School, Holb\u0026aelig;k), Detroit (Cranbrook Academy of Art), Atlanta (artist Bojana Ginn), and Mexico (U.S Consulate, Monterrey). He currently serves as lead studio assistant to multimedia artist Gabriel Dawe.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDean has exhibited internationally, including in London, New York City, Dallas, and multiple locations in Georgia.

This focus encourages him to explore objects and scenarios in our everyday lives, and it is through this investigation that the subject of ontology - the philosophical study of being, becoming, or existence - enters his practice. Along with the potential of the readymade, there is also an interest in the potential of process. Dean\u0026rsquo;s engagement with multiple processes is not only evidence of an artist challenging personal creative boundaries, but also an approach that allows him to explore the levels of material manipulation each readymade requires for transformation into a piece of art.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Whether through needle and thread, painting, parking blocks placed side-by-side, his Digital Intervention series, or large-scale installations, the deconstructive\/reconstructive nature of Dean\u0026rsquo;s work is a method to question, disrupt, and ultimately expand the experience we have with the familiar.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout Georgia Tech Arts\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EPart of the Division of Student Life, Georgia Tech Arts serves as a home for artists, students and faculty working at the innovative and inspiring intersection of art, science and technology.

Moreover, even the imagery in the protests reinforced our oppression- images of women being attacked, images of shadows and silhouette hands reaching for help, women screaming painted in black.\u0026nbsp; In subtle ways these images only fetishized the violence that we wanted to step away from.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EI made another kind of image.

Madsen, who is entering her third year as a BME student, has been a part of the program from the beginning and has partnered with two different researchers from two different departments and one large interdisciplinary research institute, the Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience at Georgia Tech.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EVisual Connections\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ELast year she was partnered with Jianing Wu, a postdoctoral researcher from the lab of \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/hu.gatech.edu\/\u0022\u003EDavid Hu\u003C\/a\u003E, associate professor of mechanical engineering and biological sciences and a Petit Institute researcher. Wu was studying the biomechanics of an elephant\u0026rsquo;s trunk, and applying that knowledge to the future development of prosthetic arms.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;They were hoping to develop tools for military situations, or disaster relief,\u0026rdquo; says Madsen, who has been spent the summer in Ireland as part of the BME Galway Summer Program (National University of Ireland\/Galway). \u0026ldquo;For some reason, I thought instantly of war. There was a lot going through my mind and I had a difficult time processing it all.

In the other painting (\u0026ldquo;Second Nature\u0026rdquo;), the worlds of technology and nature are intertwined in an image of an elephant trunk evolving into a new device, her depiction of biology and engineering fused into one, a future in which humans respect, understand, and coexist with nature.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;In the process of creating the paintings, I used a lot of disaster imagery,\u0026rdquo; she said. \u0026ldquo;Oddly enough, while taking inspiration from that imagery, it brought me some peace of mind. How can this elephant painting and the associated research make me feel better about potentially horrible things like war and disaster? I was able to make a connection with other people, that\u0026rsquo;s how. And that was cathartic.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESeeing the Whole Picture\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis year, Madsen joined with Stephen Beckett, formerly a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Petit Institute researcher, \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/ecotheory.biology.gatech.edu\/\u0022\u003EJoshua Weitz\u003C\/a\u003E, professor in the School of Biological Sciences and the School of Physics, and director of the \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/qbios.gatech.edu\/\u0022\u003EQuantitative Biosciences\u003C\/a\u003E (QBios) graduate program at Georgia Tech. Madsen is now a research scientist in the School of Biological Sciences.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBeckett investigates the role of the multitude of viruses in the ocean. There are about 50 million viruses per teaspoon of saltwater, and they are so plentiful that they could have a huge impact on phytoplankton, which is the base of the ocean food chain. On a global scale, phytoplankton also produce as much oxygen through photosynthesis as the trees of the world. In his studies, Beckett develops mathematical and computational models exploring the ecological interactions and dynamics of microbial communities.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;Viruses and the microbes they infect are the driving force behind Earth\u0026rsquo;s nutrient and energy transformations element cycling, and sustaining the planet\u0026rsquo;s biosphere,\u0026rdquo; Madsen explains. \u0026ldquo;Dr. Beckett and the Weitz group study the intimate relationship between marine viruses and how they shape ocean ecology.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe result was two different pieces, \u0026ldquo;Submerged,\u0026rdquo; an oil painting, and \u0026ldquo;Through a Different Model,\u0026rdquo; a combination of glass, wood, and acrylic.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn the narrative she submitted for \u0026ldquo;Submerged,\u0026rdquo; Madsen wrote that the piece, \u0026ldquo;explores the complexity between marine viruses, their hosts and their vital role in shaping oceanic ecosystems. As science aims to discover the inner workings of the planet, art offers a visualization of our understanding of the world. Take it upon yourself to find connections between the microbes and the energy transformations, insert yourself into the microbial community and the range of ecosystems from the depths of the ocean floor to coral reefs to the thawing permafrost. Learn to anticipate the changing DNA of our planet, ponder what happens miles below the surface of the ocean, and for a moment, appreciate the small but vital impact these tiny microbes have on our planet.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ERegarding the three-dimensional work, she wrote, \u0026ldquo;the beauty of this concept lies in perceiving modelling as an artform. Both science and art aim to make sense of the multifaceted world around us. As an artist, I often find my intentions convoluted when creating a piece and figuring out how to best express the intricacies of my thoughts \u0026ndash; this seems to parallel the process of mathematically modelling viral interactions. How can we illustrate something that cannot be currently visualized? Sometimes we need to focus on a single layer; a line of code, a formula, a pattern, a color, a line. Sometimes we need to observe through a microscope, other times we need to put down the paint brush and see the \u0026lsquo;whole picture\u0026rsquo; and then adjust the details. Often we uncover beautiful relationships hidden in a sea of calculations, colors, and ideas. Hopefully, our end result is an illustration of the intangible, an understanding of the convoluted, and a contribution to something larger than ourselves.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBeckett says the sculpture, \u0026ldquo;really explores how various types of abstractions can make us think and feel differently about our observations. For me, it really captures some of the key steps in the scientific process.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EEmbracing the Process\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFor Madsen, it\u0026rsquo;s always been about the process, particularly with her art. More than the final results, she finds her bliss in the act of doing and making.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;I\u0026rsquo;m a process artist,\u0026rdquo; she says. \u0026ldquo;As much as I care about the final painting or the final sculpture, I care more about the process, the art of laying the paint down and making decisions. In high school we were trained in all mediums, but were allowed to focus on one that really spoke to us. I didn\u0026rsquo;t start painting until my sophomore year, but I fell in love with it. With working the paint \u0026ndash; oil paint is very thick. It\u0026rsquo;s got a great texture, and there\u0026rsquo;s a lot of depth to it. I\u0026rsquo;m also a color person. I love color. So I really love feeling the paint, mixing it, working it, responding to it. That\u0026rsquo;s definitely my medium.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIt\u0026rsquo;s that same love of the process that is liable to make her a successful biomedical engineer, fully engaged in the development of the device or product.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;As an engineer, of course you want a great final result, but you\u0026rsquo;re constantly challenging yourself until you get there,\u0026rdquo; she says. \u0026ldquo;As an artist, one decision during the process affects subsequent decisions. It\u0026rsquo;s the same in engineering. So, being a process-focused person will help me in that regard.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMadsen isn\u0026rsquo;t pursuing a career in art because she wants to preserve her painting and sculpting as labors of love. She does the art for herself without worrying about the outcome \u0026ndash; although, making a connection is important to her. That\u0026rsquo;s part of why she got into biomedical engineering.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;Why is there so much heart disease in Africa? It\u0026rsquo;s because people there don\u0026rsquo;t have access to the same stuff that we do, and I\u0026rsquo;m really troubled by that,\u0026rdquo; she says. \u0026ldquo;As much as I love all the technological innovation in the world and all around me, my main aspiration now is to pursue research and development on medical devices to make them more accessible and affordable for lower income people and communities around the world. I think that I can help people as a biomedical engineer. Like my art, it\u0026rsquo;s a way to connect with people.

The show was a collaborative effort between the Office of the Arts and TSRB\u0026rsquo;s Augmented Environments Lab. Students were given cards with the prompt, \u0026ldquo;I feel safe when_____\u0026rdquo; which served as a springboard. The actors began developing the show without a script, relying solely on the responses they received from the prompts. Over the course of about a month, they devised the stories and personal narratives that where included in the show. The concept of the show is rooted in 2016\u0026rsquo;s \u0026ldquo;I Feel Safe When\u0026rdquo; campaign, which sought to increase the number of people and perspectives in campus conversations about safety by reaching out to students, faculty, and staff.

Like Stovall, she started her craft when she was six at the urging of her parents. Wirian\u0026rsquo;s high school made it mandatory that every student take a music class, but piano wasn\u0026rsquo;t offered.

Through the use of robotics, the interactive\u0026nbsp;aspect of the instrument is made physical and visible. The metaphor for this instrument\u0026nbsp;is a rib cage (3D printed plastic ribs) with spines (aluminum bars) and a heart\u0026nbsp;(solenoid and red LED). The human musician performs on the 3D printed rib cage as well as the\u0026nbsp;aluminum bars while the robotic component hits the aluminum bars.

The experience was extraordinary. As a participant, you enjoy the production blindfolded and in complete darkness \u0026mdash; listening to a narrative about a man in a society where dreaming is outlawed. Dozens of loudspeakers produce a unique, immersive auditory experience. As you listen your brain fills in the missing images (although there are few to no descriptive elements in the narrative). Presumably, each of us, deprived of our usual visual stimuli, borrow from our own past experiences to imagine or create the \u0026ldquo;set\u0026rdquo; where the story occurs.

He collaborated with biologists at Georgia Tech and Emory, epidemiologists at the Center for Disease Control, and other colleagues to use mathematical modeling to study how populations change and how infectious diseases are transmitted through a population. Currently, Dr. Weiss\u0026#39;s research projects include modeling the population and evolutionary dynamics of bacteria in physically structured habitats, modeling the competition of flu viruses, and modeling the dynamics of shigellosis outbreaks in the US.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn a recent paper with his former Penn State colleague Anna Mummert, Weiss modeled the effect of self-isolation during an outbreak of a serious infectious disease. During such an outbreak, many individuals follow media reports closely, and as a result, take precautions to protect themselves against the disease.

It\u0026rsquo;s an appropriate convergence for Murrell, who, like the tattoo, finds a way to combine creativity, art, and the natural world with her interest in concrete numbers and equations.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMurrell is currently in her third year pursuing a \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.cc.gatech.edu\/bachelor-science-computer-science\u0022\u003EComputer Science\u003C\/a\u003E degree in the \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.cc.gatech.edu\/\u0022\u003ECollege of the Computing\u003C\/a\u003E. She doesn\u0026rsquo;t necessarily come from a technological background, unless you include the use of computer applications or the interest in topical Netflix documentaries that she shares with her dad. What she does have, though, is a unique perspective on the field, which she is hoping to effectively marry with her interest in the arts.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EGrowing up, the latter was her passion.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EShe was in third or fourth grade the first time she participated in a theater class in Peachtree City, where she spent most of her childhood. She and a friend had decided to join the program together, which provided classes once each week over the course of a few months. At the end, each student got to perform a monologue. She performed the classic Peanuts bit, \u0026ldquo;Snoopy vs. the Red Baron.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;I think I was pretty bad,\u0026rdquo; she recalled, \u0026ldquo;but for an 8-year old, I guess it was alright. I don\u0026rsquo;t remember the whole thing, but I remember ending it standing and throwing my fists in the air screaming at the Red Baron. I didn\u0026rsquo;t even know what a \u0026ldquo;red baron\u0026rdquo; was. I just knew it said to do it \u0026lsquo;angrily.\u0026rsquo;\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ENot long after, she joined chorus in school. She sang, did musical theater, and added chorus and art in middle and high school.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;That was a path I considered coming into college,\u0026rdquo; she said. \u0026ldquo;I took AP art in high school, and that let me build a huge portfolio. So I had a hard time finding my niche coming in to college, really deciding which path I wanted to take.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFirst, she chose Industrial Engineering. And while she loved the school, after her first year at Georgia Tech, she found that it wasn\u0026rsquo;t the right path for her.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAround that same time, she took a computer science elective. She was admittedly terrified at the prospect of taking the class. To assuage those feelings, she researched the material herself during the holidays before the spring semester of her first year.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;I learned Python beforehand because I was so scared I wouldn\u0026rsquo;t get it in class,\u0026rdquo; she said. The result? \u0026ldquo;It made that class a breeze. I decided I was better at computer science than I was at industrial engineering, so I made the switch.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ETurns out, it was a welcome change. By her description, computer science fit her artistic inclinations much more than her previous major. And, after some early difficulty in adjusting to a new major \u0026mdash; an extremely challenging one at that \u0026mdash; she feels like she has finally gotten a foothold on the material. Using her artistic nature has helped her find an objective she can pursue.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;People and media are my two threads,\u0026rdquo; she said. \u0026ldquo;Those are the two things that are closest to something graphics- or user interface-driven. How people interact with programs, how they look, how easy they are to use. I think that\u0026rsquo;s where more artistically-minded computer science majors go.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDespite not having a background in computer science, her artistic nature has been an advantage in many ways. While you can learn the languages of computers through time in class or research on the internet, approaching the major with a more creative mindset is not something that is teachable.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;I learned Java script over the summer on my own,\u0026rdquo; she said. \u0026ldquo;You can learn to do all those things, but maybe it isn\u0026rsquo;t as easy to teach a more abstract, creative way of thinking. It helps you to think outside of the box a little bit. You look at an application someone has coded, and there are a million different ways they could have done it. It\u0026rsquo;s just a matter of how their mind worked to create it.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EShe still finds time to feed her need for the arts. She sings with the Georgia Tech women\u0026rsquo;s a Capella ensemble \u0026ldquo;\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.nothinbuttreblegt.com\/\u0022\u003ENothin\u0026rsquo; But Treble\u003C\/a\u003E,\u0026rdquo; an extracurricular she said was portrayed quite realistically in the movie \u0026ldquo;Pitch Perfect.\u0026rdquo; She still finds time to work on her art, staying up late into the night every once in a while to work on her projects.

When the drummer switches to the snare, the mechanical arm shifts to the tom.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGeorgia Tech Professor Gil Weinberg oversees the project, which is funded by the National Science Foundation. He says the goal is to push the limits of what humans can do.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cIf you augment humans with smart, wearable robotics, they could interact with their environment in a much more sophisticated manner,\u201d said Weinberg, director of the \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gtcmt.gatech.edu\/\u0022\u003ECenter for Music Technology\u003C\/a\u003E. \u201cThe third arm provides a much richer and more creative experience, allowing the human to play many drums simultaneously with virtuosity and sophistication that are not otherwise possible.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe robotic arm is smart for a few reasons. First, it knows what to play by listening to the music in the room. It improvises based on the beat and rhythm. For instance, if the musician plays slowly, the arm slows the tempo. If the drummer speeds up, it plays faster.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnother aspect of its intelligence is knowing where it\u2019s located at all times, where the drums are, and the direction and proximity of the human arms. When the robot approaches an instrument, it uses built-in accelerometers to sense the distance and proximity. On-board motors make sure the stick is always parallel to the playing surface, allowing it to rise, lower or twist to ensure solid contact with the drum or cymbal. The arm moves naturally with intuitive gestures because it was programmed using human motion capture technology.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWeinberg and a team of student researchers with backgrounds in music, engineering, computer science and physics built the arm after creating a \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.news.gatech.edu\/2014\/03\/05\/robotic-prosthesis-turns-drummer-three-armed-cyborg\u0022\u003Erobotic prosthesis for an Atlanta drummer\u003C\/a\u003E. That device had two sticks, one with a mind of its own. The prosthetic arm allowed the man to continue his musical passion after losing an arm in an accident, while also making him the fastest drummer in the world. Its success led Weinberg to create the \u201cthird arm\u201d robot, something that anyone can wear and become a cyborg drummer.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cIf you have a robotic device that is part of your body, it\u2019s a completely different feeling from working alongside a regular robot,\u201d said Weinberg. \u201cThe machine learns how your body moves and can augment and complement your activity. It becomes a part of you.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe next step is linking the arm\u2019s movements to brain activity. The team is already experimenting with an electroencephalogram (EEG) headband that detects a drummer\u2019s brain patterns. They\u2019re hoping to identify patterns that would allow the arm to react when the musician simply thinks about changing tempo or instruments.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWeinberg sees other applications for the technology.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cImagine if doctors could use a third arm to bring them tools, supplies or even participate in surgeries. Technicians could use an extra hand to help with repairs and experiments,\u201d he said. \u201cMusic is based on very timely, precise movements. It\u2019s the perfect medium to try this concept of human augmentation and a third arm.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor another video showing the technology, visit the \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/guthmancompetition\/?fref=ts\u0022\u003EGuthman Musical Instrument Competition Facebook page\u003C\/a\u003E.

Whether using handmade or machine-made paper, by twisting, printing, cutting, or folding the paper among other techniques, the artists manipulate their narratives into fruition,\u0022 she said. \u0022The processes of creation become part of the narrative as the mark of the artists\u2019 hands can be seen in these marvelous works. The exhibition includes artist\u2019s books, installation, relief sculpture, sculpture in the round, and prints.\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMs. Running, one of the featured artist, was trained as a papermaker and sculptor. She now makes drawings and site-specific installations.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0022I fell in love with handmade paper for it\u2019s humility, it\u2019s process, and it\u2019s chameleon nature. The same fiber with different treatment can behave like fabric or leather, silk or fiberglass. This material opened a way of thinking for me as an artist,\u0022 she said. \u0022Papermaking taught me to innovate, and to pay close attention with all of my senses. I carry these ideas into my drawings and installations now.\u0022\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor more information visit \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.ipst.gatech.edu\/amp\/exhibits\/index.htm\u0022\u003ERobert C.

This is the kind of music I try to create.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhen Weinberg plays piano with the robots and they produce new music in response, there have been moments that felt close to the elusive, emotional quality of powerful music.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cThese moments are becoming more frequent \u2013 it\u2019s not there yet,\u201d Weinberg said. \u0026nbsp;His hope is that these experiments lead to new kinds of music and new ways of thinking about music.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EShimon and Shimi are the latest incarnations of Weinberg\u2019s quest to push the boundaries of music through technology.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cIt\u2019s not that humans aren\u2019t awesome -- really awesome -- but at some point I started wondering if I could inspire myself or find something else that would make me think about and play music differently,\u201d he said. So he started writing software that would listen to music and improvise a musical response while studying at MIT.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERobotics entered the picture after he started teaching at Georgia Tech.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cThat\u2019s when I started thinking about acoustic sound, and then the visual cues and the embodiment of music. And I found myself mainly in robotics,\u201d he said.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHe also found himself in good company: When you live in times that inspire the likes of Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk to publicly ponder the pros and cons of artificial intelligence and the possibility of singularity scenarios, it\u2019s clear that robots are part of our culture.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cMaybe music should only be created by humans, but that\u2019s why I\u2019m in academia.
