‘Transport networks are ubiquitous in both social and biological systems. Robust network performance involves a complex trade-off involving cost, transport efficiency, and fault tolerance. Biological networks have been honed by many cycles of evolutionary selection pressure and are likely to yield reasonable solutions to such combinatorial optimization problems. Furthermore, they develop without centralized control and […]

‘Inoculate weep by Naomi Ocko and Benjamin Riley presents a imaginary forest in which is observed the inoculation of a virus. This agent provokes the death of the trees and thus progress from one to another creating some kind of path which composes a poetic landscape of destruction. We are here at the core of […]

‘Clip of a research project in Namibia filling a discarded termite mound with plaster of paris and washing the mud away to reveal the inner geometry.’ ‘Video clip of the world’s largest slice and scan machine taking sequential shots of 1500 2mm slices of a termite mound filled with plaster of paris.’ ‘Sir David Attenborough […]

Video from the Science Channel’s, Ants! Nature’s Secret Power. Here Leafcutter ants have constructed a subterranean nest, roughly 538 sq. ft across, with tunnels for shortest circulation routes, clean air intake, and carbon dioxide ventilation into chimneys reaching above the surface. Scientists filled the tunnels for three days with concrete, using 10 tons of concrete, […]

original article Unpacking the nature of fractals and the mathematical properties for why they are universally relevant. As scale decreases, the number of dimensions of k-Minkowski spacetime (red line), which is an example of a space with quantum group symmetry, decreases from four to three. In contrast, classical Minkowski spacetime (blue line) is four-dimensional on […]

Two projects of particular interest by Ariel Schwartz and Mike Chino. Archimorph began researching similar topics, using Bacillus pasteurii, also known as the cementer bug in 2007 as a ‘natural 3d printing device’ which would create habitable structures out of sand. Seed bombing technologies have also been of interest since early 2009 in the attempt […]
