Growing technology
for our bodies
with the planet.

One of the great challenges of the 21st century is to merge human and computers in a healthy way. In order to compete with the rise of digital intelligence, man and machine must form an intimate symbiotic relationship on a microscopic level. The margin of error is near zero.

Humans and computers are merging…

and they’re merging wrong

For millions of years, humans have augmented their bodies with technology found in the natural world. Now, technology is inspired by works of science fiction, birthed in sterile laboratories, and implanted into our bodies. This results in an unnatural competition between biological intelligence and digital intelligence. We have a choice, to sacrifice the natural world in pursuit of technological progress, or work with nature to grow our technology, and connect deeper with the planet.

Beyond
Biomimicry

Beyond Biomimicry is a call to decenter the human in the design process by allowing nature to help grow advanced technology resulting in a more sustainable, equitable future, for the rest of the biomass.

Beyond Biomimicry

Wearable technology designed with nature.

If the future is to be multi-species, we must collaborate with natural inhabitants of earth. To succeed, this must not impede the human agenda of technological progression. So we must invite nature into the digital world, in a way that feels ecological to our people, our planet, and our vision of the future.

Biodesign

The design of matter should matter to designers. Biology can be wielded as a tool, much like a paintbrush on a canvas. This tool unlocks new designs with living organisms and living matter.

Biodesign

Technology made with other lifeforms.

Through the use of directed evolution, regulating gene expressions, and genetic modification, we can create organisms, systems, and products that heal our environment. Early experiments include propagating bacterial pigments, slime mold electric interfaces, and self-knit textiles grown with roots.
