In 1632, Galileo proved heliocentric theory of Copernicus. John Hadley (1682–1744) was mathematician inventor of the octant, the precursor to the sextant. Hadley also developed ways to make precision aspheric and parabolic objective mirrors for reflecting telescopes, building the first parabolic Newtonian telescope and a Gregorian telescope with accurately shaped mirrors. The Scientific Revolution was a period when new ideas in physics, astronomy, biology, human anatomy, chemistry, and other sciences led to a rejection of doctrines that had prevailed starting in Ancient Greece and continuing through the Middle Ages, and laid the foundation of modern science.

2. Give examples of how we can we still see evidence of the 'Scientific Revolution' in the world today.
In our world, the ' Scientific Revolution ' still quite evidential. Today, we are have improved Hadley's works. We make the astronomical telescope and use it to look into the movement detail of some planet which around earth. And this way can help scientist to research more information about universe.
3. From your research, do you think that the From your research, do you think that the contemporary art world values art work that uses new media/technology over traditional media?
From my research, I think the contemporaty art world values not just express to the viewer of visual shock, but more foucus on some meaning of artist thinking and reflect of society influence. From my option, most artist use thire own special express technology to attract audience's attention, and then people will think about the art work meaning, on this account, it is should be get the art values.
4. How has Pipilotti Rist used new media/technology to enhance the audience's experience of her work.
Overall Pipilotti Rist's work, she is good with visual expression. Her art work are focus on life elements which around us. Similar space feeling will more easy to attract audience's attention, it is better than some art work which quite nonfigurative. I think contemporaty art value not just for artsit to understand, but also for ordinary people. Pipilotti Rist like to use vidio to express her idea. And also from her work I can see visually luxurious and shamelessly beautiful, the exhibitions and screenings of her work are explorations into those areas of human experience which most contemporary experimental art has long surrendered to mass media or the academy.
6. Comment on the notion of 'reason' within the content of the video. Is the woman's behaviour reasonable or unreasonable?
For this question, I think should comment from tow view. First, from the law and civism, the woman's behaciour is unreasonable, she breach other people's car and break the order of society. On the other hand, this woman's behaviour is reasonable. Beacause she just use another speacial method to express and attract people's attention. I also can feeling a kind of catharsis and anger from this women's behaviour.
7. Comment on your 'reading' (understanding) of the work by discussion the aesthetic (look), experience and the ideologies (ideas, theories) of the work.
Overall Pipilotti Rist's video work, she is good with make sound, behaviour and installation to be together. Also her work is confident, not misgivings and rich colours. Her work could proved that on this time, the art video still get more competitive forces than buiness. Pipilotti's work had use nature and ordinary element, and her video is made by two diferrent video together. One of is about street and another one is nature scenery. They look like totally different style, but after thinking, audience will realiesd how the artist want to express the flower things with women. The cars are machines, in contrast to flowers which map onto nature to provide a rather stereotypical ideological association of women with nature and men with machines. Another feature of the video is its depiction of beautiful violence. Because of she as a handsman so many years, she really know about that the aesthetic standard of commonalty.
Furthermore, in her work, audience could get intensive experience easy. This way should let audience communicate more with the artisit.
5. Comment on how the installation, sound and scale of 'Ever is Over All' (1997) could impact on the audience's experience of the work.
I can see Pipilotti Rist is walking along a street lined with parked car and holding a long red hot poker flower. The dreaminess of the scene is conveyed via slow-motion, a blue colour-cast and by the fact that the woman appears to be ecstatically happy and is wearing a billowing, form-hugging gown. Overall this video, Pipilotti Rist did not use any complicated installation, from my view, it should be just use ordinary
installation. This art video's background music is queite soft and it had aa poignant contrast with the sound of break the car window. And also Pipilotti did not choese huge scale to create her work, she just choose a part of street. In this video, when a police saw what Pipilotti doing, the police did not do noting and just past her with smile. Somehow we, the viewers, automatically associate the parked cars with a male-dominated society. It is certainly the case that an obsession with cars is a predominantly male phenomenon. And cars are machines, in contrast to flowers which map onto nature to provide a rather stereotypical ideological association of women with nature and men with machines. Another feature of the video is its depiction of beautiful violence. Rist has been highly successful in her representation of a feminised mode of violence, made possible by framing the narrative as a dreamscape. Therefore, I can realised Pipilotti reflect women's sensitivity and tough and furthermore she express women's character of challenge. Pipilotti can catch up the psychosocial stuff and then put into her work, this way could impact on the audience's experience of the work.
