Thanks, pals! That's it for today.

After nearly seven years and hundreds of chats, we've decided to wind down #ArtTechChat. This means today will be the last chat.

Thank you all for your participation over the years, we've really enjoyed all the conversations.

@ArtTechChat I'll miss these chats - but good luck with future projects & thank you for your inspiring questions. #ArtTechChat

[Deborah Duffin MRSS @DeborahDuffin]

@ArtTechChat I know that's not really answering the question, but the ways in which wildlife can help us, depend on the situation & what is trying to be achieved. But I would say it's often going to be advantageous to observe wildlife to solve things. #ArtTechChat

[ArtTechChat @ArtTechChat]

If you have any final thoughts or memories you want to share with us, please post them here or watch out for our final two #ArtTechChatDaily posts this week!

Evolutionary biology is like an ultimate and unforgiving marketplace of ideas. Many technical problems have parallels in nature so studying wildlife and observing how it does things is a good source of inspiration for technical systems.

@ArtTechChat I often think that wildlife seeks the best, strongest & most reliable ways to do things. They also live in harmony with the planet as long as humans don't get involved in their habits. We have a lot to learn from other creatures. #ArtTechChat

[Dominic Duffin ⚡🧭 @DominicDuffin1]

@DeborahDuffin @ArtTechChat Yes, I also enjoy the birdsong! #ArtTechChat

[ArtTechChat @ArtTechChat]

How do you think wildlife and their habits and patterns can inspire design and technical solutions?

#ArtTechChat

[Deborah Duffin MRSS @DeborahDuffin]

@ArtTechChat I love hearing the bird song in the early morning - a great start to the day for me. #ArtTechChat

[ArtTechChat @ArtTechChat]

Do you have favorite wildlife that you see or hear locally?

#ArtTechChat

[Dominic Duffin ⚡🧭 @DominicDuffin1]

@ArtTechChat Looking out of the window and watching the birds is good enough. #ArtTechChat

[Deborah Duffin MRSS @DeborahDuffin]

@ArtTechChat Nowhere in particular, but everywhere. It's all around us wherever we go. I have to admit though, I also have lots of books which I also use as a reference & for ideas. #ArtTechChat

[ArtTechChat @ArtTechChat]

Where do you go to be inspired by wildlife?

#ArtTechChat

[Deborah Duffin MRSS @DeborahDuffin]

@ArtTechChat Yes often. I have large series of drawings of ants, caterpillars, maggots & murmurations & much else. & my sculptures, paintings & installations are based on these drawings. One of the greatest inspirations for me. #ArtTechChat

[ArtTechChat @ArtTechChat]

Do you feature wildlife in your artwork?
