The Intersection of Technology & Biology
The video talks about the relationship between technology and biology and the way we can make one useful to the other. She explains her two points of view between machine and organisms, chisel and gene, assembly and growth, Henry ford and Charles Darwin, as pointed out all contradictions. She tries to explain the work of her and her teammates as they try to move away from assembly and closer to growth. They create 3-D printed clothes that use no linen. An Acoustic chair that absorbs sound, printed out of 44 different properties corresponding through pressure points of the human body not by adding material but by continuously and delicately varying material property. They use the singularity of the objects to make new statements. They create something called chitosan paste which is a material that can be used instead of plastic, this leads to her question of why we are still using plastics when an alternative like this exists. One of the innovations that they create is they transform shrimp shells to be able to make an architecture like a tree, of course it take time and patience but it is worth it this lead to her term of synthetic biology. Also they created material ecology with Cyanobacteria and e coli to make clothing, this two never interact with each other, now they do thanks to evolution by design.
Questions
1. What is the relationship between technology & biology?
2. What things & people does she compare to each other at the beginning of her introduction?
3. What kind of chair do they create & how does it work?
4. They print 3-D clothes without having to use what?
5. What is chitosan paste?
6. What does chitosan paste replace?
7. They transform shrimp shells to be able to do what?
8. What is synthetic biology?
9. What two things were used to make clothing? These two things never come in contact with each other unless forced upon.
10. How is technology helping us evolve?
