Radiolarians are microscopic marine organisms that have unique, complex shapes. When closely viewed, their tiny bodies are intricate and designed so beautifully. This goes to show that even if something is small in form, there still can be so much meaning behind it. It was interesting to learn about how Haeckel was both an artist and scientist because you don’t really see these two fields connect a lot. He intertwined the two subjects and sketched drawings of these radiolarians. It was also interesting to learn that he viewed all life and living things as connected in one big continuous cycle. In addition, I never really thought about how art can help people better understand science. Art can break down these complex ideas of science and make them easier to recognize and observe. Furthermore, it was thought-provoking to think about how the mind and the body are both separate but connected. As well as how the mind might not need the body to exist which is a complicated concept. Overall, I really enjoyed this film and thought it was interesting to learn about how humans, nature, and technology are all interconnected in a variety of ways. Also how art can be used to better understand the world around us, especially science.
