Kerridge and Stott create speculative design projects that experiment with new materials.
Biojewellery, 2003-7
Working with bioengineer Ian Thompson, Kerridge and Scott created wedding bands coated with bone cells. “The bone tissue was cultured in a laboratory and then seeded onto a bioactive ceramic that acted as a scaffold for the growing cells….The final bone tissue was taken to the designer’s studio and combined with precious metals to finish the ring.”1 The ring functions as both a symbol of commitment and an actual memento of your partner’s corporeality.

Consumers use AI chatbots for many kinds of tasks, from engaging with mobile apps to using purpose-built devices
such as intelligent thermostats and smart kitchen appliances.
With a traditional chatbot, the user can use the specific phrase
“tell me the weather forecast.” The chatbot says it will rain. These AI technologies
leverage both machine learning and deep learning, different elements of AI, with
some nuanced differences to develop an increasingly granular
knowledge base of questions and responses informed by user interactions.
To increase the power of apps already in use, well-designed chatbots can be integrated into the software an organization is already using.
