Abstract

The concept of biomimicry has been used in various fields, from nanotechnology to machine intelligence, for various purposes, inspired by natural processes and organisms. The main application of biomimicry has been to produce artifacts and ideas from what we can know about what nature has already done. Many artists have devoted themselves to the development of works with poetics of hybridization and mimicry. How close would they be to biomimicry? Or would they be bioinspiration? This discussion is the starting point to present the “VIRIDIUM” project, which focuses on the development of semi-autonomous and translucent 3D-printed sculptures. In addition to the biomimicry (biomimetics), bioinspiration, and Darwinian evolution concepts, the concept of artification is also addressed as a possible model of understanding the poetic process, both in "VIRIDIUM" and in the works of the artists listed.
