Material Beliefs will be appearing at “This Happened“, on Friday 19th September at the Design Museum. This is part of the Design Overtime festival. Here’s how Chris, Joel and Andreas describe This Happened:

This happened is a series of events focusing on the stories behind interaction design. Having ideas is easier than making them happen. We delve into projects that exist today, how their concepts and production process can help inform future work.

Material Beliefs will be taking about design and engineering collaborations, alongside Yuri Suzuki, Daniel Brown and Dominic Harris.

Attendance is free but places are limited. Registration will open on Friday 5th September, with tickets allocated on a first come basis. More details soon, see Design Week for coverage of the event.

Steve worked with Bala Sirigireddy on their short film Blood Sample, here’s an online version (flash required) of their film, and here’s a list of all the films from the initiative.

There are a series of events to launch films, so you can hear form the participants, as well as watch the outcomes on the big screen:

Thurs 24 Jul - 12 noon - at the Crown & Two Chairmen
Fri 25 Jul - 11am - at the Curzon Soho Mini Cine
Tues 29 Jul - 5pm - at the Curzon Soho Mini Cine

Also, Steve mentions:

‘Science on Film… Where Next?’, looking in broader terms at the future of science on film. David Dugan (dir/producer, made lots of episodes of ‘Horizon’, etc) will be speaking, along with two Science on Film participants and Rachel Hillman (Wellcome Trust). Mon 28th Jul, 1pm at Foyles Bookstore, lasts about 90 mins.

The Future of Docs event, taking place (same day I think) at 5pm at the Apple Store. someone from DFG will be speaking, as may someone from Wellcome. Guessing that some SOF films might be shown…

Stand by also for more short documentaries from Steve for Material Beliefs!

The Secret Garden Party starts today (July 24th) and runs for 3 days. The theme of the festival this year is revolutions, and the marketing leads with a quote from Bertland Russell:

Thought is subversive and revolutionary…Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief Glory of man

As well as a packed roster of bands and acts, The Secret Garden Party follows on this years cerebral theme with a range of “Action Camps” including a Guerrilla Science Camp. Here’s a pdf with the line-up of hands on science taking place in this corner of the festival grounds over the 3 days.

Susana and Tobie will be there representing Material Beliefs, come along from 4-5pm on Friday 25th and invent your own biological-silicon hybrid in a range of colourful plasticines!

Dr. Julian Vincent is the director of Biomimetic and Natural Technologies and professor of Biomimetics at the Department of Mechanical Engineering - University of Bath. He is also an associate chief editor since 2003 for the Journal of Bionic Engineering.

See more of Julian Vincent in conversation with Susana Soares, filmed by Steve Jackman.

Having originally started in the field of artificial intelligence, De Grey worked until 2006 in the Department of Genetics at the University of Cambridge. After we created the SENS platform, an engineering project for curing human ageing and is the Chairman and Chief Science Officer of the Methuselah Foundation, a non-profit charity dedicated to combating the ageing process.

“Talking with experts” was a two weeks assignment that the 4th year students at the Industrial and Interaction Design programme at Syracuse University did as part of the Environmental Design class.
The project was based on Material Beliefs, in collaboration, approach and students where taught to challenge their working methods by encouraging to talk with experts and bring them as collaborators of their work.
As described at Design and the Elastic Mind catalogue preface by “Nowadays the role of design is changing… we are looking at one of the design’s most fundamental roles: the translation of scientific and technological research into approachable objects that change people’s lives and as a consequence, their environment”

The aim of the this brief project was to enable space for students to create a collaboration between design and other disciplines, starting to depend more on experts opinions by interpreting and translating that feedback in their design projects.
The areas of interest gravitated around genetics, bioengineering, gerontology, the increase of life expectancy and ageing, regenerative technologies, tissue engineering and prosthesis and implants.

Interesting outcomes took place such as the work of the students, Jeanne Harran and Adam Karl, just to mention some examples.
Also students used their learnings to apply, afterwards, in other projects.

Initially teaming up with Ashley Waring, Jeanne and Ashley interviewed Prof. Robert Smith working at the Dep. of Biomedical & Chemical Engineering at Syracuse University. Currently he is working on cochlear implants and how can they improve the quality of life of individuals with auditory needs, at the Institute for Sensory Research. They also spoke with Joanne a research participant that received a cochlear implant after losing hearing in both ears at the age of 19th. Her implant had a great success.
However for children who were born deaf these implants have a better chance of being succeed if made at the age of 2.

Jeanne decided to take the project further and focused on the ethical issues behind cochlear implants. Since parents play a key role in the child development along with the moral responsibility to opt by an implant. However members of the deaf community believe that implanting an infant is morally wrong.
Her project is to create an interface that could help both parents and child to become part of the deaf community as well as help to carry some of the problems that they have to face with the implant.

By other hand Adam took a more problem solving approach. RJ Wattles, Evan Williams and Adam interviewed Prof. Julie Hasenwinkel working at Syracuse University L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science. Julie is researching absorbable biopolymeric gels for post-surgical tissue adhesions and new solutions for bone cements for fixation of joint replacements. During the interview they found out how cement guns were difficult to use and cumbersome. Certain cement mixing systems were also inefficient and complex.
As Adam decided to continue to collaborate with Julie team, he decided to design the implant cement injection gun.

Students and staff at the Design Interactions course at the Royal College of Art took part in a two day workshop at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering. The aim of the workshop was to provide those from the RCA with an embedded view upon biomedical technologies, and for those based at IBE to have a refreshed set of responses to their research.

The workshop included an introduction and tour from Rob Fenton - Research Development Director at IBE - with presentations from Nick Oliver and Olive Murphy, and lab experiments lead by Shahid Aziz and Thao Le.

This kicked off a four week project for Design Interactions students, with researchers at IBE and Reading taking up visiting tutor roles at the RCA through tutorial sessions, providing feedback on the projects. A project blog was set up by Cesar, to share design materials and other start points.

Additionally, Paul Thurston of Think Public, Tom Shakespeare of PEALS and Alex Wilkie from Goldsmiths were invited to provide a programme of evening lectures for students to hear about how public sector work and sociology might broaden the exchange between biomedical engineering and reflective design.

A final crit takes place on Thursday 15th May, with a morning of discussion following on friday 16th. Please get in touch if you would like to know more about this workshop, or would like to try something similar.

During a frenetic tutorial with Bernard, his digital plaster sent a message. In fact it was Gunnar, who was sat behind us.

My Space, My City, My World was a three day conference for year 10 students in south east London, based at the Steven Lawrence Centre in Deptford. Material Beliefs was invited by Ignite! to run two of the workshops, other project partners included Aspire, London Engineering Projectand the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust. Here’s something about the event from the Ignite page:

The conference aims to build young people’s confidence in making their voices heard in the places where decisions are made about design, engineering, economics and the future.

My Space, My City, My World will explore individual students’ personal ‘footprint’, their views about the urban landscape, and the way the world is going. Workshops will be led by young, keen and green entrepreneurs, designers, scientists and engineers – and debates will explore how one person can make a difference.

On tuesday, Tony Cass and I lead a workshop an DNA profiling, which responded to technology from the Institute of Biomedical Engineering and DNA Electronics. Elio Caccavale and Mark Hammond lead a workshop on thursday based around the Animat project at the University of Reading. The aim was to encourage the students to design their own products and services around these emerging technologies.

Ros, Nick and Pantelis met at the Institute of Biomedical engineering to discuss type 1 diabetes. Pantelis is developing an artificial pancreas - a silicon chip which has the potential to replace the function of pancreatic beta cells. This technology could provide a replacement for the type of insulin pump used by Ros, who spoke about her careful management of diabetes through an “open loop” system, which depends on her monitoring the pump. As a doctor in the NHS, Nick spoke about how closing the loop on the management of diabetes could change patients’ relationship with their doctors. All three offered a different perspective on diabetes, and shared their experiences of managing it. Steve filmed the discussion, and Tobie asked some questions. A short film called Mind the Loop will be available soon.
