Evolving Matter
The research project investigated how biofabrication is influencing the culture of the project, offering a perspective on the materials, the and the factories of the future. In particular, experimentation has concentrated on microbial nanocellulose, product of the process of
fermentation of a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts or S.C.O.B.Y., starting from the sensorial exploration of the material to imagine new forms of post-industrial production. Interacting with the process of fermentation is in fact possible to determine the perceptive characteristics of the material (smell, color, texture), can affect the appreciation from involving the user on an emotional level
