February 17, 2024
AICA-USA Member Patricia Olynyk’s chapter “Lost in Space with Frankenstein’s Shadow” is featured in Bio/Matter/Techno/ Synthetics (Actar Press).
Bio/Matter/Techno/Synthetics: Design Futures for the More than Human (B/M/T/S) explores the cutting-edge intersection of nature, artifice, and technology through the work of women shaping the future of design. From bio-design and robotics to speculative biology and sentient materials, this collection dives into critical, ethical, and aesthetic considerations in a world of both abundance and trauma. Featuring essays from 28 women at the forefront of architecture, digital fabrication, and critical theory, B/M/T/S challenges traditional design principles and redefines what it means to make in today’s complex, ever-evolving world.
