Welcome to Arts and HealthWelcome to #Arts-and-Health. We are glad you are here!We are not a typical "art collection" group!Please take a moment to read a little bit about us and our mission.Arts & Health is about art. And health. We are a new Community Project but not an "official" dA group.We are grateful for the generous backing of Community Relations.We are concerned not only with how art is used to show health and illness, but also with how art can be used as a vehicle for storytelling. We want to show what it's like to live with an illness (regardless of how major or minor) as a means to raise awareness not only of the condition, but also of the human spirit and endurance. At our core, human beings are brave and resilient creatures, even in the face of illness, and we want to depict this triumph while raising awareness of illnesses.We are still ironing out the format of the group.We plan to put together a bimonthly (perhaps moving to monthly) "e-zi
Humans Becoming Robots, Robots Becoming HumanOn March 1, 2012 the Nevada DMV issued the first license for a “Google Driverless Car.” The idea behind this innovation is that one day soon new technology will drive cars safer and more skillfully than humans, thus saving lives and billions of dollars in car crashes.

DownfallAnd in this dark harvest of seasonMy life has completely lost reason,For which or against to decide.All lost in a savage and endless, bleak tideIn sadness and in kindness In light and in darkness.In a boat made of hope I shall sail to tomorrow,In a winding hurricane Made of treachery and sorrow.There's a spear, endless, and colossal spear...Piercing, slashing though my head.Starting somewhere in heaven, Ending somewhere in hell.Fighting, burning, crying, crashing.Are the armies within.In my head they are all thrashing.On the heaven's and hell's whim.To be light or to be darkness.A perpetual array.It's n
