MAN-NAHĀTA – The land of many hills
In their continued effort to seek out an equilibrium between man-made and nature, MAN-NAHĀTA is the latest project by OXMAN (previously Mediated Matter Group at the MIT Media Lab). The project is a top-down master planning braved by bottom-up-desi...
Making Data Matter – Voxel printing for digital fabrication of data
Developed by the team at the MIT Media Lab's Mediated Matter research group, the following research demonstrates multimaterial voxel-printing method that enables physical visualisation of volumetric data.
Data-Driven Material Modeling at the MIT Media Lab’s Mediated Matter Group
Developed at the MIT Media Lab's Mediated Matter Group, 'Data-Driven Material Modeling' refers specifically to the process of the creation of high-resolution, geometrically complex, and materially heterogeneous 3D printed objects at product scale.
Synthetic Apiary – Biologically augmented digital fabrication
New project by Neri Oxman and the team at the Mediated Matter Group / MIT Media Lab explores the possibility of a controlled space in which seasonal honeybees can thrive year-round.
‘Rottlace’ masks for Björk by the Mediated Matter Group / MIT Media Lab
Designed by the Mediated Matter Group in collaboration with Stratasys and inspired by her most recent album—Vulnicura, The Rottlace is a series of masks for Björk, exploring the themes associated with self-healing and expressing ‘the face without ...
GLASS / G3DP – 3D printing of optically transparent glass
Created as a collaboration between Mediated Matter Group (MIT Media Lab) and the Glass Lab (MIT), GLASS G3DP is a additive manufacturing process that enables 3d printing of optically transparent glass that also allows tunability by geomet...
Living Mushtari – 3d-printed and generatively grown microbial factory
Developed at the MIT Media Lab's Mediated Matter group, Living Mushtari is a 3D printed wearable with 58 meters of internal fluid channels designed to function as a wearable microbial factory that uses synthetic microorganisms to convert sunlight ...
Wanderers – Digitally grown 3d printed wearables that could embed living matter
Wanderers is a collaborative project between Neri Oxman + Mediated Matter Group, Christoph Bader & Dominik Kolb to create four digitally grown and 3d printed wearables.
Silk Pavillion – CNC Deposited Silk & Silkworm Construction at the MIT Media Lab
Project explores the relationship between digital and biological fabrication by using silk threads laid down by a CNC machine followed by a swarm of 6,500 silkworms spinning flat non-woven silk patches.
Neri Oxman and Mediated Matter at the MIT Media Lab
The Mediated Matter group is dedicated to the development and application of novel processes that enable and support the design of physical matter, and its adaptability to environmental conditions.
