Measure of Art Exhibit Ruler

What measurement systems and metrics do we take for granted? What are their origins, and what are the implications of their use?

Please join IDS 103-03 (Science, Technology, and Human Values) students as they present their research posters critically examining metrics and measurement systems, integrating humanities scholarship and methods with other disciplines and approaches.

Come see what SUNY Poly students have created!

Did you know that both the metric system and the transformation of the Louvre palace into a museum open to the public have their origins in the French Revolution? Does this make you more or less inclined to measure in a certain way or appreciate certain artifacts as art? Come discuss these and other topics with us!
