"Art History Tour"

7:00 to 8:00 AM SL time.

Title: Liberalism vs. Conservatism in Art? – Art History part.3
I presented twice about Art History before.
Part 1
Part 2
I and comet Morigi installated The Modern Museum as a collaboration
platform for finding cross-disciplinary relation in modern history. And
motoko Moonwall expanded my idea, introduced 2nd axis, “Left eye’s Art”
vs. “Right eye’s Art” in her Art history museum but she died by lung
cancer in 2015 before completion.
She introduced “Mannerism/ Baroque” vs “Classicism/ Renaissance”,
combined two Art historians, Heinrich Wolflin and Gustav Hocke, but both
studies are based mainly on Eastern Art and not enough for finding
relations between Eastern world and Western world.
So I proposed new hypothesis, memory of “Hunting (migratory) life in
glacial period” vs. “Agricultural (Sedentary) life in Holocene”.
It is interesting that several researchers in evolutionary psychology,
cognitive neuroscience, etc. have similar idea for “Liberalism” vs
“Conservatism” in politics.

"Recent Developments in Solar Cells- Perovskites"
Saturday, November 10,
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
By Mike J. Shaw
Harvesting energy from sunlight continues to be an active area of
research which has the potential to benefit society at large. The best
silicon-based solar cells have efficiencies around 25% after decades of
research. Recently, solar cells based on materials which adopt a
structure analogous to the mineral perovskite have shown the potential
for high-efficiency conversion of light to electricity. This talk will
illustrate the basics of how a solar cell works, why the perovskite
structure seems to work for this application, and the various pros and
cons of the particular varieties of perovskite used in such cells.
