PaigeHDESMA9: Week 3 PaigeHDesma9- Robotics+Art

We cannot look at robotics without thinking about industrialization, and how industrialization came to the point of robotics. Robotics is in everything we do that is related to manufacturing. Artists were influenced by industrialization. For example, the first and second industrial revolutions. The first industrial revolution was the printing press. This revolutionized the world. The second industrial revolution was commonly associated with electrification as pioneered by Tesle, Edison, and Westinghouse, by scientific management was by Taylor. The metal movable and printing press was the most influential in the second millennium. As the professor stated, science, technology, and culture is always a two way street. For example, the printing press made available this rapid dispersion of knowledge to share with others. We see robotics and art and certainly industrialization in the movie Modern Times by Charlie Chaplin. In which the theory Taylorism disperses in this movie, representing that the people some how become a part of the machines. This idea of robotics and the future come up in the movie Blade Runners as well. As in the lecture provided, the professor talked about how this movie represents robotics and the future Los Angeles in 2020. From my own experience with movies and industrialization and robotics put into one, my suggestion would be to watch I, Robot. This movie captures the industrialization of robotics, and it also represents how the people seem to become a part of the machines. In my opinion, I think the society reacts to industrialization in two ways. For example, if the industrialization that is occurring is benefitting you, you will be entertained by the production. But, if the industrialization is negatively affecting you, you will start to be creative on your own.
