Our interdisciplinary project draws upon a wide range of readings in science & technology studies (STS), design studies, feminist literature, aesthetics, Japanese studies, and more. . . Our working group met monthly to rigorously discuss concepts and practices pertinent to the Biomaterial Matters project before embarking on the design and production phase.
