I was read about Janine Benyus, interesting things that I learn from her was human is not the first organism that can build a sophisticated home that has heating and cooling structure. Many scientist research about the nature and learn from it. Biomimicry is the design and production of materials, structures, and systems that are modeled by nature. Nature’s apprentices are focusing on the function. They ask themselves “How does nature solve this?” and they study about the nature and learn from the nature. while I was reading, I thought materials science engineer can get ideas from these research.

While I was reading, I felt new media art is more like a 3D art or video and visual art. So I find out Korean new media artist Nam Joon Paik. He uses old television as material. Reason why he used television, that is the most common thing that people can able to connect with media. I learned new media art is focused on people.
