neri oxman

By letting materials tell their own stories, the form-finding (not form-making) artist, architect and material ecologist shares a few brilliant examples of her work.

Neri Oxman is a designer and researcher whose work establishes a new approach to design at the interface of computer science, material engineering and ecology. Her research promotes the aesthetics of material formation and behavior as a scientific contribution to ecological activism. She is the founder of an interdisciplinary design initiative, MATERIALECOLOGY and is currently pursuing her PhD at MIT as a Presidential Fellow. In June, 2009, she appeared on the cover of Fast Company magazine featured as one of the 100 most creative people in business.


i love what she says in regard to relationships as seen in nature...
1) more things are integrated than separated
2) more things are similar than we think - fractal-ish 

understand processes of materials, letting material tell its own story
schizofrenia between physical domain and the digital domain
incorporate parameters that are related... art/business/nature/etc
the bone fabricates itself as it.....    (key - as it...)
instead of thinking of the form i want to achieve i think of the form of thinking
