Neri Oxman (Hebrew: נרי אוקסמן; born February 6, 1976) is an Israeli-American designer and former professor known for art that combines design, biology, computing, and materials engineering.[2] She coined the phrase "material ecology" to define her work.[3][4]
Oxman was a Professor of Media Arts and Sciences at the MIT Media Lab, where she founded and led the Mediated Matter research group.[5] She has had exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA),[6] Boston's Museum of Science, SFMOMA, and the Centre Pompidou, which have her works in their permanent collections.[7]
Many of Oxman's projects use new platforms and techniques for 3D printing and fabrication, often incorporating nature and biology. They include co-fabrication systems for building hybrid structures with silkworms,[8][9] bees, and ants; a water-based fabrication platform that built structures such as Aguahoja out of chitosan;[10] and the first 3D printer for optically transparent glass.[11] Other projects include printed clothing, wearables, and furniture.[12]
