The theme of the 12th international Fab Lab conference in Shenzhen, China, is fab labs that make fab labs: systems that makes systems, applying the biology concept of self-replicating systems into the fabrication world.
Kate is giving a talk on synthetic life during the plenary Symposium.
What if we build life instead of growing?
Or what if we grow machines instead of building?
