Have you considered what would happen if we could create materials in the real world that only exist in the digital world?

In this episode, Nour, the host and founder of Femmes Designers, is joined by Jiani Zeng - a designer, HCI researcher, and founder whose work investigates new ‘material expressions’ and design methodologies such as AIoT, soft-robotics, and multi-material 3D printing. They delve into the future of experience design, computer science in education and the use of Illusory Material - a design methodology and computational workflow that breaks down design medium into 'matters', restructuring and reinventing materiality.
