Skylar Tibbits: Can We Make Things that Make Themselves?
MIT researcher Skylar Tibbits works on self-assembly — the idea that instead of building something (a chair, a skyscraper), we can create materials that build themselves, much the way a strand of DNA zips itself together. It’s a big concept at early stages; Tibbits shows us three in-the-lab projects that hint at what a self-assembling future might look like.
Skylar Tibbits, a TED Fellow, is an artist and computational architect working on “smart” components that can assemble themselves.
