Some consequences and critiques of The Pragmatic Theory of Properhood (2011)
Journal Article
Coates, R. (2011). Some consequences and critiques of The Pragmatic Theory of Properhood. https://doi.org/10.2143/ONO.41.0.2119609

In several recent papers (Coates 2005a, 2005b, 2006a) I have suggested an approach to name theory which I have called a pragmatic theory of properhood, or, if I may elevate the descriptive phrase iconically into a proper name, The Pragmatic Theory of...

Digital fabrication of a novel bio-actuator for bio-robotic art and design (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Walters, P., McGoran, D., & Ieropoulos, I. (2011, October). Digital fabrication of a novel bio-actuator for bio-robotic art and design. Presented at NIP27: International Conference on Digital Printing Technologies and Digital Fabrication 2011, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

We describe the design, fabrication and testing of a biologically-driven actuator which serves as a proof-or-concept "artificial heartbeat" for future use within bio-robotic art and design. The actuator employs live biological material, both as a sou... Read More about Digital fabrication of a novel bio-actuator for bio-robotic art and design.
