In this intriguing TEDx talk, Julia Lohmann weaves a tale of seaweed and the need for multidisciplinary approaches to art and science.

A designer and researcher who occupies the threshold between design, science, art and craft, Lohmann uses her work to challenge attitudes around sustainability and materials.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
