Mind stimulation for Saturday Night
#1
I was doing some research tonight and got sidetracked for a while.
I am so glad that it happened.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Neri Oxman, she is an Associate Professor of Media Arts and Sciences
at MIT.

She runs the Mediated Matter research group at MIT and is doing things that any doomsday-est should ne forced
to study.
This is AI taken to the nines.
One of the most interesting projects has been the silk pavilion environment.
It is a delicate marriage between nature and technology that has built a remarkable Architectural structure
made by robotics and silk worms.
Rather than try to explain it, here's a video that will blow your mind.
So bring out the coke and Twinkies and take a look at this: http://matter.media.mit.edu/environments...-pavillion

And a Ted talk on this and other projects she is involved with: https://www.ted.com/talks/neri_oxman_des...nd_biology

When done, if you still have some Twinkies, check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZNTzkAR1Ho

Inspiring! But I have some concerns about meeting between two microorganisms which don't found together in nature.
"As they say in Mexico 'dosvidaniya'. That makes two vidaniyas."

On the silk project, neither is a microorganism one is a machine, and the other an insect

And when you are done, google "3D printed bridge Amsterdam". Everything in June 2015, speaking in the future and nothing from 2016-2017 showing the finished bridge. PR was good, but they must have hit a snag :)
Unless noted otherwise, code in my posts should be understood as "coding suggestions", and its use may require more neurones than the two necessary for Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V.
