"what is it about?" this is what first came up on my mind when i read the topic for this week's directed blog. What is the notion of the divinely that inspired many artists during Italian high Renaissance. After minutes googling online, I finally understood what it really means. I think Gunther Von Hagens best suits the notion of creative artists. Some might object my introduction of him as an artist. However, there are many debates about him as a person and what he does. Gunther Von Hagens, the anatomist, inventor of plastination, and creator of Body World Exhibition, to me, he's such a creative artist. The first time i knew about his name and the Body World exhibition was back in highschool, from my physiology instructor. My physiology instructor showed the post card she bought from this exhibition she went. I was impressed and shocked from what i saw. I was impressed because he improves the awareness of medical issues, particularly among the general publicusing the technique called plastination (a technique of preserving body with the use of vacuum to extract the air bubbles, for more information, please visit http://www.bodyworlds.com/en/plastination/idea_plastination.html) ALthough many people feel disgusted by what he's doing; however, i think he did an amazing job on showing the motion, the body, the muscle , and anything you can find in animals and human body. If you've ever visited his exhibition, believe me, it won't disgust you; on a contrary, you actually learn many medical knowledge and you'll be aware of the medical diseases and instead change some of your living and eating habits. I'm not sure whether it is still exhibited at San Jose Tech Center, but if it is, trust me, you'll must be impressed and amazed by what you've seen.
