Don't miss WILD DESIGNS at the Peabody Essex Museum!

Wild Designs is on view through August 4, 2019!

SALEM, MA – The Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) presents an exhibition that explores how engineering and design concepts from nature can make the world a better place. Opening May 26, Wild Designs features not only bio-inspired works by artists, but also 24 projects and prototypes conceived by innovators who look to nature and living systems for new ideas and creative solutions to human problems. The exhibition takes place in PEM’s Dotty Brown Art & Nature Center and explores biomimetic and bio-informed innovations in design and technology that either model or engage nature to generate novel products and more sustainable solutions. Included are design projects ranging from preliminary concepts to realized products and buildings, as well as mixed media sculptures, artist installations and drawings.

Biomimetic innovations are hindered by challenges to implementation, not inspiration

Biomimetic innovations are hindered by challenges to implementation, not inspiration

If biomimicry has so much potential, why aren’t there more bio-inspired innovations in the market? If we could be living a life with energy efficient processes and nontoxic materials inspired by nature, what is holding us back?

In order to answer these questions, our team conducted in-depth interviews with industry leaders and analyzed the existing resources available for biomimicry product development.

The Noxian Gate

Alien contact has been made, yet only one girl holds the key to opening the mysterious Noxian Gate.

About The Noxian Gate

“She felt a small twitch in the bottom of her stomach and knew she had been pulled out of Augmented Reality. The blue green light of her ’symbiotic bacteria’ cast a light that always reminded Rachel of being under the ocean. Once out of her augment suit, Rachel felt naked, and started talking to Lilly, the AI she has been growing for the past five years.”
