Defining color is a complex process that has consumed artists and scientists for many years. Takes a new approach to the understanding of color, providing a comprehensive overview of what it is, along with very clear, detailed explanations. Three-dimensional graphics help enable full understanding of all the dimensions of color and how it relates to creative visual arts.

Tony Ro, a neuroscientist at The City College of New York, is artificially recreating a condition called blindsight in his lab. Blindsight is a condition that some patients experience after having damage to the primary visual cortex in the back of their brains. What happens in these patients is they go cortically blind, yet they can still discriminate visual information. With support from the National Science Foundation, Ro is developing a clearer picture of how other parts of the brain, besides the visual cortex, respond to visual stimuli. He says understanding and mapping those alternative pathways might be the key to new rehabilitative therapies.
Video art has become one of the most fashionable artistic disciplines since its inception in the 60s. Festivals like "Loop " and exhibitions at MACBA like The Killing Machine have recently demonstrated the creative possibilities in this creative medium. Video art closely links the continuous changes that occur in electronic and digital technology.
What is visual contamination? Students try to guess what this concept means. Mónica Basto visits William Molano, an expert on visual contamination, clears up questions about this topic. Sara Sánchez travels throughout the city and shows how the excess of advertisements affect the environment.
Arthropods have jointed limbs, hard exoskeletons, segmented bodies, and molt--or shed--their shells in order to grow. Crabs, beetles, centipedes, squillas, pill bugs, and walking sticks demonstrate a variety of ways some of the one million different species of arthropods walk.
Ever wondered how art museums decide if a painting is a fake? Nate meets with Dr. Gregory Smith, a forensic art scientist, to follow a painting they suspect is a forgery. They use everything from x-ray fluorescence to electron microscopy to figure this case out. Part of the "Artrageous With Nate" series.
After the “Hola” song, Susana and Señora Alicia model greetings and sing a song. New body parts are introduced, including "the eye," "the nose," "the ear," and "the mouth." Señora Alicia also reviews the terms "big" and "little." With the help of Mr. Potato Head, Señora Alicia reviews body parts from previous lessons. Part of the “Art and More” series.
After the “Hola” song, Susana shows Señora Alicia her magic wand. They ask students to join them in singing the song “Las Visitas” in different tempos. Señora Alicia reviews the parts of the body while singing “Mi Cuerpo.” She adds to the song by naming some of the instruments learned in previous lessons. Part of the “Art and More” series.
After the “Hola” song, Señora Alicia and Susana review the colors "green," "yellow," and "blue." While they sing to the tune of “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes,” students learn the terms for the following body parts: head, arms, legs, and feet. Señora Alicia introduces a new instrument: the triangle. Students also practice a counting activity that reviews numbers "one" through "eleven." Part of the “Art and More” series.

Human beings, like every living organism, are driven by two inherent needs: to survive, and ultimately, to reproduce. To accomplish the goals of survival and reproduction, we have inherited bodies crafted by evolution so that every individual human organism is an organic super factory, a living machine made up of systems that process fuel, build products, repair damage, expel waste, and defend against invaders. Introduces the complex physiological systems of the human body: muscular movement, digestion, circulation, respiration, nerves, glands, immunity, and reproduction. Also, illustrates and explains the cellular basis of life and the importance of carbon in organic chemistry.
What happens when the world of art intersects with the world of science? Alberto Rojo, musician and physicist, discusses the role of a researcher in both disciplines. In this episode, he shows parallels between creating music and researching science. He tells us how artists and scientists share similar methods of gathering knowledge and researching ideas.

Part of the "Branches on the Tree of Life" series. Phylum Arthropoda is the most luxuriant branch on the tree of life. Covers phylum characteristics and three major arthropod classes: Crustaceans (copepods, waterfleas, branchiopods, decapods, and barnacles), Chelicerates (scorpions, pseudoscorpions, spiders, ticks, and mites), and Uniramians (centipedes, millipedes, and insects). Focuses on adaptations, life cycles, and evolutionary relationships in each section.
A giant video screen that takes up an entire wall, floor to ceiling, is allowing scientists to see details they've never seen before. Developed at Tufts University with help from the National Science Foundation, the Visualization Wall has a variety of applications. The "VisWall" offers a surgeon the opportunity to teach and practice surgical procedures on avatar renditions of the human body.
Can we trust the robots of the future? Explores the world of artificial intelligence, taking us into labs and workshops where innovators teach robots to perceive, think, and move just like human beings.
Kathy Blake is blind but two years ago she got a glimmer of hope. She heard about an artificial retina being developed by a company called Second Sight and the Doheny Eye Institute in Los Angeles. It was experimental, but Kathy was the perfect candidate. With funding from the National Science Foundation, a camera is built into a pair of glasses, sending radio signals to a tiny chip in the back of the retina. The chip, small enough to fit on a fingertip, is implanted surgically and stimulates nerves that lead to the vision center of the brain.
Sports organizations have known for a long time that artificial turf saves money and water. And some homeowners even install fake grass to help protect the environment and conserve water. Join Joel and the Curiosity Quest crew as he learns how this grass is made and installed. Part of the Curiosity Quest Series.
