 What happens when living organisms grow on designed structures made of organic, super fertile material? Create a design, print it using a hacked 3D printer and organic material, which is a fertile breeding ground for a slime mould (Physarum polycephalum), and see how the mold grows and redefines the shape of your structure. The aim is to design artificial systems combining digital strategies and living material.
 Physarum polycephalum - Biological meets digital computing Over the past few decades, biology has entered the collective debate more than any other science. Organisms can be manipulated, by combining different features, to perform specific functions. Designers cannot be careless about the contribution of this science, that enables a paradigm shift of the design tools, changing them from a system of representation of a product, to a direct materialization of the product through novel specific processes (e.g. 3D printing); this by defining a new balance between the autonomy of the process itself and the will of the designer.
