In4Art Features is a talkshow in which we bridge the world of art and technology: how do both make the world curious and try to show a glimpse of what can be expected? How do they influence one another and what impact does it create? This first session focused on the more applied field of design and start-ups. We introduced Design Column #12 of museum Boijmans van Beuningen and had a Q&A with design curator Annemartine van Kesteren. To read the full story, go to bit.ly/1Rg3c6t or In4Art.eu

- Art & Science interact since the 16th century De anatomische les van Dr Nicolaes Tulp 1632 Rembrandt Within the seventeenth century a huge epistemic shift led to a revised understanding of color in nature and color in art. At the same time that radical changes occurred in theories of vision, matter, and the sensible qualities, artists and scientists shared an interest in colors as paint or natural phenomena. At the end of the sixteenth century, for example, natural philosophy and anatomy began to interact significantly on questions of color, vision, and the eye, while anatomists and artists worked together to produce anatomical engravings and paintings. Scientists, on the other hand, visited painters in their workshops and showed interest in their practical knowledge of color preparation and color mixture.
- Half life lamp 2010 Joris Laarman Labs Mouse cells, firefly DNA, metal, glass Gas lamps in 1870, incandescent lights in the 1880s, florescent bulbs in the 1920s, LEDs in 2013 and living luminescent cells in 2050? Joris Laarman Labs already has a working model, but hopes the project only gets us thinking about the possibility of living appliances. A layer of hamster cells spliced with firefly DNA on the lamp shade to produce a bio-luminescent enzyme. Don’t worry, no hamsters were harmed in the process. Laarman modified embriotic hamster cells that scientists have kept alive for over 50 years. http://www.boijmans.nl/nl/116/nieuwsbrief/newsletteritem/587
- Theo Jansen STRANDBEEST Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCtA5kX-Ktg Since 1990 I have been occupied creating new forms of life Not pollen or seeds but plastic tubes are used as the basis material of this new nature, I make skeletons that are able to walk on the wind, so they don’t have to eat Over time, these skeletons have become increasinly better at surviving the elements such as storm and water and eventually I want to put these animals out in herds on the beaches so they will live their own lives.
- Rem Koolhaas Video trailer: Maison a Bordeaux A couple lived in a very old, beautiful house in Bordeaux. They wanted a new house, maybe a very simple house. They were looking at different architects. Then the husband had a car accident. He almost died, but he survived. Now he needs a wheelchair. Two years later, the couple began to think about the house again. Now the new house could liberate the husband from the prison that their old house and the medieval city had become. "Contrary to what you would expect," he told the architect, "I do not want a simple house. I want a complex house, because the house will define my world..." They bought land on a hill with panoramic views over the city. The architect proposed a house – or actually three houses on top of each other. The man had his own 'room', or rather 'station': the elevator platform. The movement of the elevator continuously changes the architecture of the house. A machine is its heart.

- http://fullgrown.co.uk/ With his Full Grown project, bio-designer Gavin Munro has taken a radical stance within the furniture industry. Instead of felling and transporting large trees and processing the wood to create individual objects, Munro trains the tree to grow into ready-made products. He harvests the chairs directly from his orchard. By eliminating several intermediate steps, he simplifies the production process and makes it more energy ef cient: he lets nature do most of the work. Munro calls it ‘mass production meets delayed gratification’. Mass production is still a long way off: a single chair takes between four and eight years before it’s ready to be sat on. Nonetheless, Munro sees this new approach as an eco-friendly and energy-efficient future for the furniture industry. The company will launch a series of pendant lamps in the spring of 2016.

- Ecovative
- Understanding that processing wood from planks to products incurs 50% to 80% of timber wastage during normal manufacture, Marjan van Aubel and James Shaw looked at ways of incorporating waste shavings into design using bio-resin. A curious chemical reaction occurs when it is mixed with the shavings, expanding it into a foamed structure. By adding colour dye and varied-sized shavings from different workshop machines, a colourful, lightweight and mouldable material was created, reinforced by the fibres in the hardwood shavings. The porridge-like mixture of resin and shavings are applied to the underside of the chair shell by hand, building up the material wherever extra strength is required. The mixture then foams explosively to create its own exuberant form, anchored by the simple turned legs of American ash. This chair was developed with the support of the American Hardwood Export Council it was one of the first pieces of furniture to be subjected to Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), measuring its total environmental impact across its production and usage. The Well Proven Chair has been nominated for the Design of the Year 2013 Award and will be seen at the Design Museum in London.

- Philip Ross Mycotecture Alpha (2009) Custom grown mushroom blocks About time we had a room made of mushrooms. Artist Philip Ross made the building blocks for “Mycotecture Alpha” from mushrooms and pasteurized wood chips. The combination works like a biological version of concrete, assuming the shape of any mold. As Ross hopes to eventually build an entire house out of fungal bricks, Ecovative Design is already molding packaging and insulation with the help of fungus. http://modernfarmer.com/2013/11/10-amazing-pieces-living-art/
- One artist is bringing this immersive, 360° feel to paintings. Working with the Google Maps API, Raul Moyado Sandoval is creating interactive other worlds, similar to that of a Google Street View scene, but with brushstrokes and paint rather than giant backpack-mounted lenses.
