What is Next Nature?Our image of nature as static, balanced and harmonic is naive and up for reconsideration. Where technology and nature are traditionally seen as opposed, they now appear to merge or even trade places. We must no longer see ourselves as the anti-natural species that merely threatens and eliminates nature, but rather as catalysts of evolution. With our urge to design our environment we create a ‘next nature’ which is unpredictable as ever: wild software, genetic surprises… Show more What is Next Nature?Our image of nature as static, balanced and harmonic is naive and up for reconsideration. Where technology and nature are traditionally seen as opposed, they now appear to merge or even trade places. We must no longer see ourselves as the anti-natural species that merely threatens and eliminates nature, but rather as catalysts of evolution. With our urge to design our environment we create a ‘next nature’ which is unpredictable as ever: wild software, genetic surprises, autonomous machinery and splendidly beautiful black flowers. In the lab we develop concrete design projects. Our goal is to grow a methodology on how to design, build and live in Next Nature. Show less

Mediamatic Bio Industry is a broad techno-cultural lab exploring the possibilities of bio-based materials for design, science and art. People from all disciplines - that includes everyone from scientists to artists to amateur mushroom farmers- will investigate how to make use of the promising characteristics of mycelium, the plastic of the 21st century. We want to build furniture from fungi, new fabrics from dead plants and grow an affordable, easy-to-use, bio substitute for plastic.
