Neri Oxman is one of the most intriguing researchers working today. She is known for art and architecture that combine design, biology, computing, and materials engineering. She pioneered the field of “material ecology,” and her work featured in museums across the globe. MoMA curator Paola Antonelli called her “a person ahead of her time, not of her time.”
One of her projects called Wanderers: An Astrobiological Exploration are small habitats worn on the body.
Oxman said, “The future of wearables lies in designing augmented extensions to our own bodies that will blur the boundary between the environment and ourselves.”
She explained, “Living matter within these structures will ultimately transform oxygen for breathing, photons for seeing, biomass for eating, biofuels for moving and calcium for building.”
