These new “copycat” mimic the modus operandi of nature. Or they choose to co-designer with nature, as “new artisans.” Others become “agents provocateurs” and explore the ethics and risks of creation with an organization alive. All invent and question a hybrid future where our daily products and manufacturing tools will be “alive.”
To see in particular the work of the Canadian architect Philip Beesley which offers a spectacular installation that immerses visitors in an immersive and interactive world playing with his senses.

Radiant Soil forms interlinking clouds of industrial design biomimetic components of polymer, metal and glass, arranged in suspended filter layers contain a near-living carbon-capture metabolism. Frond-clusters fitted with shape-memory alloy mechanisms react to viewers as they approach, flexing and setting off bursts of light that stimulate the protocells and trigger chains of motion that ripple throughout the environment. Scent-emitting glands attract viewers and encourage interaction with the system, providing stimulus that increases air circulation and protocell formation.
