Artist Christoph Bader collaborated with MIT scientist Neri Oxman to create grown wearable suits. First they wrote a growth algorithms “inspired by natural growth behavior” to generate 3D shapes, then they actually created these objects with a 3D printer.

According to the artists, the idea is that the resulting outfits could contain living organisms — bacteria and algae — that could serve various functions during interplanetary exploration. More info here.
