Last week I went to San Francisco Art Institute to meet my friends who are studying studio art/fine art there. We talked a lot about new medium of arts and how it relate to our works these days. One topic in the conversation that stood out is the recently "captured" photo of black hole. Having spent a serious time on researching the history of photography, my friend explained to me that the picture(although she insist it should be called IMAGE) of the black hole is not the first one taken nor the clearest. The reason of it drawing so much attention is it being the "image" that correspond to Einstein's theory. This fact shook my understanding about how all these astronomic images are published, described and recognized by the public. This might be a little bit unrelated to the topic, but the point I am trying to make is that medium can really change how the world presented to us. In this case, I would argue that art and astronomy have one thing in common: they are both the things we are trying to figure out which are beyond our physically perspective. We only get to find the way that convince ourselves most.
