Lining Yao @Harvard Origins of Life Initiative
"Researchers ... gathered at Harvard University during a two-day workshop titled “Proto-computation and Proto-life”. Attendees explored technical and philosophical approaches to assessing the conditions under which matter may ‘compute’ something about its environment, and whether such conditions offer a clue as to the origins of life in our universe."

Lining Yao @ Wired UK
As a Wired UK fellow, Lining presented at Wired conference. "Grow. Duplicate. Die. In its purest form, that simple sequence is the meaning of life. It's also the core influence behind designer and MIT PhD candidate Lining Yao's work. Specialising in novel materials and interfaces, Yao takes that biological cycle, and applies it to merging the interactions humans have with computers and materials."
