Resources

This is in equal parts a public and personal repository for useful links, literature and tools to enable an easy entry into topics and a deep dive into it. These bits and pieces were shared with me, made me understand aspects better, inspired my work or opened new ways of technological exploration. I hope it offers some for you as well.

Let me know if you think there is something missing.

Intersecting Tech & Nature

Biosemiotics is a field of semiotics and biology that studies the prelinguistic meaning-making, or production and interpretation of signs and codes and their communication in the biological realm.

Biomimicri & Biomimetics is the emulation of the models, systems, and elements of nature for the purpose of solving complex human problems.

Bionics or biologically inspired engineering is the application of biological methods and systems found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems and modern technology.
