She coined the term \"material ecology\" to describe her process of producing techniques and objects informed by the structural, systemic and aesthetic wisdom of nature, from the shells of crustaceans to the flow of human breathing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGroundbreaking for its solid technological and scientific basis, its rigorous and daring experimentation, its visionary philosophy and its unquestionable attention to formal elegance, Oxman's work operates at the intersection of biology, engineering, architecture and artistic design, material science and computer science.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNeri Oxman: Mediated Matter\u003c\/i\u003e—designed by Irma Boom and published to accompany a midcareer retrospective of Oxman's work—highlights the interdisciplinary nature of the designer's practice.
