I thought it was pretty sweet seeing how the everything looked underneath the skin. Unfortunate for the injury and the process but I see how this can be seen as art. It's very intriguing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865818713460237922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258237373522010735.post-16260368170693030972016-04-27T19:17:03.261-07:002016-04-27T19:17:03.261-07:00Darian,

The new technology that allows us to physically view ones insides have made treatment so much easier. As for plastic surgery we know it can be used to fix things that ail people such as cleft lip which can concer health and also obviously for aesthetic reasons.mattfarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18213380106097570349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258237373522010735.post-18444314973829673532016-04-26T13:57:31.028-07:002016-04-26T13:57:31.028-07:00Hi Darian,

I believe that beauty, like art, is an extremely abstract and subjective topic. While Orlan's multiple surgeries might seem unnatural and extreme to society, it seems that she is breaking the barriers of what we consider "normal," and like you said, what makes her such a prominent artist.Vivian Panhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01474653804143558344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258237373522010735.post-44161577805146560072016-04-25T23:49:52.043-07:002016-04-25T23:49:52.043-07:00Hi Darian.

This week's lecture and readings really opened my eyes to view these tools as not only for medical efficiency but also as a form of art. The detailed human body images that result from these complex machines truly act as artwork that transcends what was once traditional. I think that as technology within medicine continues to advance, we will be able to construct more detailed and new identities of the human bodyJake Reeveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08858079898814238374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258237373522010735.post-59880399929013915772016-04-25T15:05:13.794-07:002016-04-25T15:05:13.794-07:00I guess plastic surgery is a rather obvious form o...I guess plastic surgery is a rather obvious form of the compliation of arts and sciences, but I just never looked in deep enough to analysis its artistic roots within the medical sciences. I agree that the video was a bit too much and overwhelming, but it was interesting to view how far artists were willing to go to define their perspectives within the field of Medicine. In terms of MRI as art, I think beside its visualstic artistic features, its inherent "acoustic" artistic features as Silvia Casini indicates make it even more "artistic" to its core.
