Biomimicry and Art: Transductions with Biology

This article discusses the concept of Biomimicry, which has been applying in many fields, from nanotechnology to robotics. It is appearing smart materials and machinic intelligence, for diverse purposes, being inspired by natural processes organisms. The main application Biomimicry produce artifacts ideas what we can know about nature already done. While mimesis removed vocabulary Art, works some artists are still full possibilities discuss under Biomimetics. Many have dedicated themselves development using poiesis hybridization mimicry. How close they approach Biomimetics? As examples, brought Walmor Corrêa, Patrícia Piccinini, Liu Xue, Berlinde De Bruyckere, Alessandro Boezio, Joan Fontcoberta Pere Formiguera. discussion starting point introduce my project “VIRIDIUM”, I´m developing semiautonomous translucent robots, printed 3D. poetic basis possibility that hybridizing evolving, spontaneously, as well hybridized genetic manipulation. I propose objects / beings do not exist but refer simulate behaviors those who inhabit world, different kingdoms Nature. describe first stage project, focuses Plantae kingdom (also known Metaphyta). Afterwards (Biomimetics) darwinian evolution concepts bring Artification, a possible model understanding process, both “VIRIDIUM” chosen.
