In my research I’m focusing on biomimicry and how it is approached in the field of communication and interaction design.
I want to focus on the functional aspect of mimicking naturally occurring phenomena, but also investigate the aspect of beauty that visually appeal to us – like the colour shifting ability of cephalopods – squids, octopuses and cuttlefish.

For that I want to take a closer look an find out what’s already done in this field and what turned out to be a good approach and what not.
Also I want to investigate new technologies, technical solutions and modern – smart – materials that are used in this context.
One of the materials I want to focus on in the beginning is E Ink and its improvements over the last years. The concept is quite appealing to me, because it’s a form of display that requires very little energy -sustainable – and has an almost organic feeling, both haptic and visual. Furthermore I will check alternative technologies which compete in this market.
