Art in STEM, Tuesday, January 9, 2024
"Welcome to our first class," Steve said with a far-too-awake grin at the students. "This semester we're exploring how art and STEM--science, technology, engineering, mathematics--work together. Or sometimes, how they need to so you don't send things that are both ugly and useless out into the world."
Tony was less awake, but had a coffee as large as his head. Which helped. "A prime example of why it's needed is... this thing here," he said, gesturing at an image of a specific vehicle. Did he have a look of revulsion at it? Yes, yes he did. This was some Justin Hammer design aesthetic.
Steve was giving the image his judgiest, Captain America is Disappointed in You, look. "This is the Tesla Cybertruck," he said. "And it really looks like that. On purpose."
Every part of his artist's heart was insulted, you guys.
"And it's just shoddy design on a purely practical level too!" Tony said, gesturing at it. "How this could ever hit the market is a testament to how lax safety standards are."
You know. Said the guy who tested out a flying suit of armor on himself.
"It has proprietary tires that don't work in the snow," Steve said, nodding.
"So, as our welcome to the class... join us in judging this thing," Tony said with a grin. Because how better to bond as people?
"And offer suggestions on how to improve it," Steve said, "even if it means starting from scratch."
