NERI OXMAN

-

As I noticed the subject of this blog, I immediately thought about Neri Oxman, an architect and designer who is israeli-american. Nowadays she is a teacher in MIT, a technology institute in Massachusetts. At this institute, she developed her investigation with the group Mediated Matter, and it's recognized for combining design, biology, tech, and ingenierie in the development of materials.


Oxman developed a concept of material ecology, with the purpose of defining her work where she fusion ambient design and digital morphogenesis. Her work is often inspired by nature and biology and she uses modeling tools, 3D printing and fabrication techniques such as Silk Pavilion, which is a yarn made of silk worms in a nylon frame. Ocean Pavillion, a fabrication platform based on water who built chitosan structures. She made exhibits at the museum of modern art and the museum of science of Boston. She excels for her creations and she 's recognized for innovating in her techniques of fabrication, being called out of this time by colleagues and critiques. 


Neri Oxman in her perception of the materials and process, achieving to  transcend, innovate and not stagnate in the normal fabrication processes, but taking things further. I discovered her in a Netflix documentary named Abstract and I invite you to watch it. It's totally worth it.

MY FAVOURITE PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY

  My favorite technological tool is a photographic camera. Since i was a child, i like to take pictures and steal some of my family’s cameras, only to do whatever i want with it. When i was 16 i bought my first camera. It was a used camera, but it worked fine. I quite like it, especially because i bought it myself. Now in college, my family gave me a more profesional one and i love to use it and   take pictures with it , especially to the moon and the animals, because it’s fascinating to capture these incredible moments. I use it depending on where i am, because i’m all the time at my home, but i always take it with me when i go out and especially when i ride my bike, becuase of the fantastic landscapes that i can capture. I like all kind of cameras because they represent a frame of the moment, as something symbolical, specia, unique. The photos capture a tiny part of time and that’s captivating. I know that i can live without a camera, but i think that everything is more exciting

my career

  When I was a child I dreamed about being an astronaut, like everyone else. When I grew up, I followed the science and maths areas. I also wanted to be a vet, but my mother said that I should examine spiders so I left it. I was in high school when I applied to Agronomy, because I liked the science and maths areas. My first year of college started, and I was freaking out. It was like a storm of emotions. I thought about it, and left the career. i dropped college in september, and till december, i thought about a new career, with the help of my family and my friends. Although I like to create stuff, I didn't want to assume about being in design, just by the fact that I didn't like graphic design. I convinced myself of going,so i went to a chat about the career and there was when I discovered the enormous world of design and how big the career is. Since I applied for design back in 2018 I knew that I wanted to be an industrial designer.  The first year was really tough, even wors
