In recent decades, developments in software and hardware technologies have created dramatic shifts in design, manufacturing and research. Software technologies have facilitated automated process and new solutions for complex problems. Computation has also become a platform for creativity through generative art and design. New hardware platforms and digital fabrication technologies have similarly transformed manufacturing, offering more efficient production and mass customization. Such advances have helped catalyzed the maker-movement, democratizing design and maker culture. This influx of new capabilities to design, compute and fabricate like never before, has sparked a renewed interest in material performance.
We are now witnessing significant advances in active matter, 3D/4D Printing, materials science, synthetic biology, DNA nanotechnology and soft robotics, which have led to the convergence of software, hardware and material technologies and the growing field of programmable materials.
This conference was about the emerging field of active matter and programmable materials that bridges the worlds of art, science, engineering and design, demonstrating new perspectives for computation, transformation and dynamic material applications.
If over the past few decades we have experienced a software revolution, and more recently, a hardware revolution, this conference aims to discuss the premises, challenges and innovations brought by today’s materials revolution. We can now sense, compute, and actuate with materials alone, just as we could with software and hardware platforms previously. How does this shift influence materials research, and how does it shape the future of design, arts, and industrial applications? What tools and design processes do we need to advance, augment and invent new materials today? What are the key roles that industry, government, academic and public institutions can play in catalyzing the field of programmable materials?
This two-day conference consisted of a range of talks and lively discussion from leading researchers in materials science, art & design, synthetic biology and soft-robotics along with leaders from government, public institutions and industry.

Black Art Matters – A socially distanced protest and performing arts event - also a celebration of black artist’s cultural contribution to music, dance, literature, spoken word etc.
Held outside The Crucible Theatre in Sheffield; black performance artists called for greater representation and inclusion in arts and culture, not just in casting performers but in commissioning and decision making.

Students gathered to march and protest through the campus against racial violence and featured events on police brutality, white privilege, and on raising black children.
If we do not struggle against racial violence we are complicit in that violence.

In this photo we can clearly see an overall theme of indigenous awareness and inclusion. We can observe that the classroom is used as an indigenous gathering center. There is a bright orange poster citing “every child matters”, relating to the legacy of the residential schools as well as their effects on children. The bright orange color used relates to orange shirt day, a day where people across Canada wear orange to recognize and raise awareness about the history of the indigenous community. There is also a sign with handprint decorated with indigenous symbols like the inuksuk. This photo is portraying a space where people, indigenous or not, can go and learn about the history as well as current situation of the indigenous communities across Canada. This makes me feel quite happy of how the education system and people in general are becoming more aware of indigenous communities, there past as well as what they are still victim of. I feel like a dozen years ago, things like the indigenous gathering center would have not existed, because of lack of awareness. This center exists in order to educate and create a safe space for indigenous students because of the various forms of violence they might face on a daily basis. This photo educates students simply by making them aware that this organization exist and provides an opportunity to educate and promote awareness.
