BIO + TECH + DESIGN
Utilize digital making and autonomously-led research to represent and augment your understanding and relationship with biological processes. Dive into the Adobe Creative Suite, hand illustration, and analog to digital scanning to develop your own visions of the future of biodesign and biotechnology. Guided by material created by designers like Dunne and Raby, speculate on the future of scientific inquiry. Historically, art technological tools have vastly changed our ability to present and experiment with the natural world-consider, for example, the Ware Collection of Blaschka Glass Models of Plants at Harvard, protein modeling through digital 3D software, and the series of macro botanicals documented by the German photographer and sculptor Karl Blossfeldt. What's next?

The Future of Food: Digitally Led Experiments to Inform Eating
The future of food is both exciting and frightening. How we eat and look at food is influenced by our cultural backgrounds, tastebuds, time, and curiosity. Bring your own perspective to the table, with the goal of re-thinking ways of eating and preparing food. Before jumping into making, investigate molecular gastronomy, Antoni Miralda's Wheat & Steak parade, Michael Rakowitz' Enemy Kitchen, the Bad Taste project, Salvador Dalí's surrealist cookbook, Alison Knowles Make a Salad, Thomas Thwaites' The Toaster Project, and other related projects.
