Wellcome collection A to Z of the human condition

At the Wellcomes collection A to Z of the human conditions exhibition, their was a lot of different objects on display like the devil figure, where at one time healers would carve out these figures and place they outside a sick peoples houses, which they believed would scare away the bad spirits, which were thought to be causing their disease, tools like this shaped the ways we think because similar techniques have been used to this day like farmers use scarecrows to scare away crows, which has shaped their ways of thinking in how to protect their crops.

The objects in the show link both art and science together like the maori tattooing, which was performed with a chisel and mallet, with soot rubbed into the open wound to provide colouring, which links both science and art together because of the process of which the technique was done, the tools used and the way with, which it would use colouring in the process to create an image. Another way in which they show this is through photography, where their are photos within the show, where photography is another form of art, where artist such as Rankin  and how science has helped to develop this form of art.

What I noticed about the exhibition was how a lot of the tools within the show has shaped the way people think today with inventions on how to improve people's life's like the goggles on display, which were created over 2000 years ago to protect wears against snow blindness. Which to this day people are invention objects, which would help with people's health.

At the display there was a lot of ways for the public to get involved with the show, in which they can write down there fears and throw it away in a bin and there's also maps of the world and United Kingdom, where the gallery asks you to place a black spot from where people have come from, which has brought human thinking and the way people think into the show, which is what the show represents.
