Philosophy

beWilder World envisions a possible future in which design is inclusive of all life. We embed intelligence into the patterns of the world, digitally growing solutions to diverse challenges to create conditions conducive to life. Our theoretical framing fuses a guiding spirit of spatial poetics with imaginal ornamentation accomplished through biomimetic techne. We believe deep patterns are transmedia projects rippling from the heart of nature out into the digits of technology and beyond to the blossoming of virtual realms. Our unique design process offers collective insight into the challeneges you face, from company organizations to products and buildings. Let us know how we can help!

Nature

Collaborator and Font of Wisdom

Here at beWilder World, nature isn't an abstract. In all of our work, we make sure that Nature is on the team.

Slime Mold Colony

Collective Intelligence

Slime mold cells join and spread out while maintaining connections to neighbors to form a diffuse network, communicating when they find resources with a feedback loop to optimize nutrient flow to the collective.

Pharaoh Ant Nests

Stigmergy

Ants put down pheromones to communicate certain information to temporally distant colony members. The layers overlap and build in strength as more ants lay down more pheromones, building up an intelligent map.

Coral Reef

Niche Refugia

Corals grow skeletons in pursuit of greater surface area exposed to daylight. This proliferation of a variety of forms create spatial diversity to increase niche variety, supporting greater biodiversity resilience.

Multicellular Morphology

Self-Organization

Developing multicellular organisms inform geometry using their bioelectric fields. These interact with chemical gradients and cytoskeletal chirality to set patterns towards which cells then orient, move and specialize.
