Did you know Charles Darwin used to track plant movement by looking through a plate of glass and marking positions every 20 minutes? Professor Rob Carter from UM-Flint's Department of Art and Art History at CASE was so inspired by this that he created an art project combining Darwin's original method with modern time-lapse photography. His work is a perfect example of how the history of technology and creativity intersect at CIT and CASE.
