Material Beliefs is a network of scientists, engineers and designers exploring technologies which extend the interaction between silicon and cells. By expanding current laboratory research through speculative designs, the project aims to create prototypes and curate public events which encourage a discussion about how emerging technologies might become situated within society. Material Beliefs takes emerging biomedical and cybernetic technology out of labs and into public spaces. The project focuses on technologies which blur the boundaries between our bodies and materials, and how design as a tool for public engagement can be used to stimulate discussion about the value of these forms of hybridity. Rather than focusing on the outcomes of science and technology, Material Beliefs approaches research as an unfinished and ongoing set of practices, happening in laboratories and separate from public spaces. Material Beliefs have designed four works, Carnivorous Domestic Entertainment Robots (2008), Neuroscope (2008), Vital Signs(2008), and We Live What We Eat (2008) responding to microbial fuel cells, networked neural cell cultures, body worn biometric sensors, and the impact of nutrition upon life-span. Material Beliefs is based at Goldsmiths, University of London, and is supported by the EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council). Carnivorous Domestic Entertainment Robots Auger-Loizeau and Aleksandar Zivanovic, with Julian Vincent, Centre for Biomimetic and Natural Technologies, Bath University. In the context of the home, definitions of what a robot is and could be are open for interpretation. These robots are devices for utility, drama and entertainment. They exist in a similar way to an exotic pet such as a snake or a lizard, where we provide living prey and become voyeurs in a synthesized, contrived microcosm. The predatory nature of these autonomous entities raise questions of life and death, taking us out of the moral comfort zone regarding the mechanized taking of life. Vital Signs Tobie Kerridge with Tony Cass, Olive Murphy and Nick Oliver, Institute of Biomedical, Imperial College Vital Signs are a set of prototypes exploring the impact of networked body sensors on child monitoring. Tracking and location services would be extended by incorporating live biometric signals, including respiration, heartbeat and movement. Vital Signs demonstrates how absent bodies are transformed into data and broadcast across networks to become expressed as behaviours in products.

Material Beliefs je mreža znanstvenika, inžinjera i dizajnera koji istražuju tehnologije koje unaprijeđuju interakciju između silikona i staničnih tkiva. Nadgradnjom recentnih laboratorijskih istraživanja u vidu spekulativnog dizajna, cilj projekta je stvaranje prototipa i organiziranje javnih događanja koja potiču debatu o društvenoj ulozi i poziciji novih tehnologija. Material Beliefs pomiču recentne biomedicinske i kibernetičke tehnologije iz laboratorija u javni prostor. Projekt se usredotočava na tehnologije koje zamagljuju granice između naših tijela i materijala. Propituje također načine na koje se dizajn kao alat javnog angažmana može koristiti kako bi potaknuo raspravu o vrijednosti hibrdinih formi. Umjesto na rezultate znanosti i tehnologije, Material Beliefs pristupa istraživanju kao nedovršenom i tekućem zbroju praksi i događanja u laboratorijima i izvan javnih prostora. Material Beliefs producirali su četiri rada, Kućni zabavni roboti mesojedi (2008), Neuroskop (2008), Vitalni znaci (2008) iŽivimo ono što jedemo (2008). Navedeni projekti problematizirali su mikrobiološke energetske stanice, umrežene neuronske stanične kulture, tjelesne biometričke senzore, te utjecaj hrane na životni vijek. Material Beliefs djeluju na Sveučilištu Goldsmiths u Londonu, a njihov rad podržava EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council). Kućni zabavni roboti mesojedi, 2008. Auger-Loizeau i Aleksandar Živanović, u suradnji sa: Julian Vincent, Centre for Biomimetic and Natural Technologies, Bath University. U kontekstu doma, definicije što robot jest i što bi mogao biti otvorene su za interpretaciju. Kućni zabavni roboti mesojedi su naprave za praktičnu uporabu, dramu i zabavu. Postoje kao pandani egzotičnim kućnim ljubimcima poput zmije ili guštera, kojima nabavljamo živuću lovinu i postajemo voajerima u sintetiziranom, kreiranom mikrokozmosu. Predatorska priroda ovih autonomnih entiteta postavlja pitanja života i smrti, odvodeći nas iz moralne zone ugode pri razmatranju mehaniziranog konzumiranja života. Vitalni znaci, 2008. Tobie Kerridge u suradnji sa: Tony Cass, Olive Murphy and Nick Oliver, Institute of Biomedical, Imperial College Vitalni znaci su niz prototipa koji istražuju utjecaj umreženih tjelesnih senzora na nadzor djece. Usluge lociranja i praćenja unaprijeđene su inkorporacijom živućih biometrijskih signala, uključujući disanje, otkucaje srca i pokret. Vitalni znaci ukazuju na načine na koje se odsutna tijela pretvaraju u podatke koji se odašilju putem mreže kako bi se manifestirali kroz ponašanje proizvoda.
