“…For instance, researchers have used microbes [25,46] as living sensors and actuators to design interactive systems [1]. Similarly, Ofer et al [32] has explored the unique afordances of incorporating bioluminescent algae in their design since these living organisms visibly respond to human interaction. These projects further demonstrate the community's interest in combining bio-based materials (living or non-living) with design interaction.…”

“…The recent advancements in biological sciences, coupled with the efforts of the DIY-bio community to make biological tools and procedures accessible (DIYbio, n.d.;Kuznetsov et al, 2015), have sparked an increased interest within the HCI research community to work with biological materials as part of displays (Bell et al, 2021;Luchtman & Siebenhaar, n.d.), interfaces (Alistar & Pevere, 2020;Merritt et al, 2020;Ofer et al, 2021;Salem et al, 2008;Tanaka & Kuribayashi, 2007;Yao et al, 2015), and systems (Holstius et al, 2004;S.

En este artículo presentamos Alganyl, un biotextil creado a partir del conocimiento corporizado que suscita cocinar. Basado en recetas Do-It-Yourself (DIY) existentes para producir bioplásticos, Alganyl es fabricado con recursos renovables, se siente como vinilo al tacto y puede ser reutilizado antes de ser convertido en compost. Hemos esbozado tres principios rectores para diseñar con Alganyl: materialidad, accesibilidad y sustentabilidad. Nuestro proceso, que es replicable, incluye la cocción del Alganyl en la cocina del diseñador, para luego cortar el material y sellarlo con calor para crear la ropa. Aplicamos estos principios y procesos de diseño para confeccionar tres prendas de Alganyl: un vestido, una blusa y una falda. Por último, abordamos el ciclo de vida de Alganyl, prestando especial atención al final de la vida de la ropa, que abordamos mediante la recocción y la biodegradación (60 días para degradar el 97%). Luego de nuestras experiencias con Alganyl, creemos que tiene el potencial de acercarnos a un futuro en que la ropa se convierta en una forma autónoma de autoexpresión, con un impacto mínimo en el medio ambiente.

“…ways of "being." This practice, which has been called organismcentered design [102], takes the view of treating non-humans as collaborators and partners in the creation of a work. Traditional computing technologies may be used to guide plant growth in a way that results in a collaborative human-plant artifact [47,55] or, in the case of explorations like Project Florence [122,126], to "translate" a plant's experiences into a human-comprehensible form (a stab at bidirectional human-plant communication).…”
