Yesterday we presented both our posters and also the choreography we created to possibly gain further understanding of the jellyfish. Of course we also took part of the other groups presentations.
It has been a very interesting week - not least has the possibility to try to grasp such a technical issue as biomimicry through such... soft investigative methods. Although I believe that at least my group found this week the hardest one of these last three ones. I am not sure whether it was a result of us ending up with quite a complex animal to understand - and therefore also to implement in design - or to biomimicry being a complex issue also seen at a larger scale. One thing we were discussing was whether it would have been easier to first define a problem to solve, and then try to find the solution in nature, but we were quite uncertain regarding that. Personally I believe that one of my problems was that it took me such a long time to grasp how the movements of the jellyfish actually work - if we had continued working for maybe three days more the implementation part would have been many times easier.
Anyway; below are our two posters to be found. The first one mainly focusing on the biology of the jellyfish, and the second one a - very brief, and playful - biomimicry implementation: Jelly-Jet City. If one would treat the issue more seriously and developed it further maybe one would have focused on as an example submarines using this low-pressure technique.
