How did this project start? | |||
Sizing the project for the Art and Biomedia class was a big challenge because this was my first approach in the field. I decided to join two themes that are of my interest, the collection of flowers and leaves to make herbal (herbarium) and the sociological theories that explain the social behavior and new forms of interaction in our modernity (21st century). I had been fascinated with the skeletal leaves that I had once found while collecting materials for my herbal books, but it was not until I started the Biomedia Art class that I was interested in knowing how these kinds of leaves were generated. At that moment I had several questions to answer: How can I make transparent leaves without waiting for nature, humidity and some microorganisms to do so? What sociological aspect I want to talk about and how am I going to represent it? How will I join these two fields in a Biomedia-Art project? | |||
Eco etymology: Latin "echo", from the Greek "ἠχώ" and means "sound". Greek mythology tells us about the nymph Echo, whose voice repeated others in the forest, after his death. It is also called echo to the footprint, at the conceptual level, which leaves something behind. | Eco etymology: Latin "echo", from the Greek "ἠχώ" and means "sound".
