This essay have collected texts from the philosophers Giles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, science anthropologist and professor Bruno Latour and science biologist writer Janine Benyus, focused on bio mimicry. The essay is called “Moving Matter” and is focused on how these writers relate to materials and how it connects to nature and furthermore to ecology. In the first part of my study I connect, through a personal reading, these writers because I found shared views on materials , nature, as active, trans-disciplinary, related to science and part of a big collective. I divided the text by chapters of each writer where I try to build my case with examples from each author. What I try to conclude is that for these writers materials are not only a single matter waiting but to be formed, it is an active moving agent which contains complex chemical and biological structures, connects to history, have a social, cultural and political role. All this complex relations could be said to form a kind of science related material culture of materials, a moving matter. By using this method an implicit ethical relations to nature and ecology is created, a Geo philosophy In the second part, “Connecting the Material”, I wish to conclude and summarize how this theories discussed in the first part could be relevant working and treating materials both as makers ,consumers, wearer of jewelry. I wish to use the so called functions of jewelry by adapting the thoughts from the first part of the essay and also by including works from different jewelry artists. By this I am posing the question: -What could it mean when we say that materials are active and intelligent in the context of Jewelery and Jewelery art?

Iced out vitguld, färggranna ädelstenar och emalj. Bling kommunicerar framgång och är en plats för att uttrycka sin individualitet. Föreställande allt från klassiska symboler till moderna logotyper eller seriefigurer, i dyrbara material och höga prislappar. Men hur ser det ut om man applicerar amerikanskt bling på svenska symboler, och vad är skillnaden mellan amerikansk och svensk popkultur? Om man byter ut vitguld med aluminium och emalj till sprayfärg? Om det istället för att drip too hard, drip too lagom. / Iced out white gold, Colorful gemstones, and enamel. Bling communicates success and is a place to express one’s individuality, depicting anything from classic symbols to modern logos or cartoon characters.  But what happens if you apply American bling to Swedish symbols? And what are the differences between American and Swedish pop culture? If we change white gold to aluminium and enamel to spray paint? If instead of drip too hard, drip too lagom.
