蕾秋．阿姆斯壯:能夠自我修復的建築物

This is the home for my work on living technologies as well as my other multi-disciplinary projects. The connecting thread: audacity, vision and a sense of ever-changing outcomes that have presented new discoveries within their development.

In this talk, I discuss how our ideas about the nature of technology are framed by our experience of mechanical technologies — and what it might mean if we had access to a completely different kind of manufacturing platform.

In this talk, I examine how nature may be regarded as a technological platform in the 21st century.

I gave this talk at TED in Long Beach. It examines how a living paint may be able to 'eat' carbon dioxide and change color when it is 'full.'

The Dutch designer, scientist and philosopher challenges our ideas about the natural world with his ideas about 'next nature,' which he defines as the convergence of ecology, technology and culture.

This Dutch artist challenges our assumptions about ecology and culture in a series of radical projects and artworks such as 'The Incredible Shrinking Man,' which suggests we can comfortably continue with our current lifestyles — providing we can shrink ourselves down to an ideal height of 50 centimeters.

Sustainable Now Technologies is a Long Beach-based group of radical technologists who are working on sustainable, natural forms of computing and technology as a far-reaching range of environmentally beneficial products. For example, their research in algaeponics is geared towards putting algae biodiesel fuel stations in garages. That will allow you to take local trips around town without EVER having to fill up at a gas station!

Sarah Jane Pell is an Australian artist and professional diver whose work envisages a time when humanity is forced to adapt to life in extreme environments such as the sea and space.

Australian artist Lucy McRae is a body architect who challenges our notions about what it means to be human by looking at our intimate relationship with technology.

This is a radical ecological design group working on a digital platform to imagine how our planet may be different if it was 'upgraded' by the global use of ecological technologies. They bring together leading-edge international creatives, scientists, technologists and futurists to explore how new science, new technology and new thinking could positively impact the future.
