PROFESSIONAL WORKSHOP
Hackteria: Bioelectronix for Artists
Workshop leaders:
Andy Gracie (UK/Spain) and Marc Dusseiller (Switzerland).
Workshop duration: 4 days, March 8,9,10,12
Workshop location: Suomenlinna/ Helsinki, Space to be announcedSuomenlinna Workshop BLOG: DIY microscopes, images and videos! http://www.bioartsociety.fi/workshops/
‘Biolectronix for Artists’ is built around the central Hackteria idea of bringing scientific apparatus and protocol into the sphere
of art, electronics hacking and open source environments.The workshop is an experimental maker-workshop with multilayered outcome for people interested in DIY-biology, microscopy and simple technological interaction with living microorganisms for example through sound. Participants will become involved in sourcing and isolating microorganisms from the environment and develop open hardware and software environments with which these organisms can be both viewed and become the subjects for simple interactions. A primary aim of the
activity is to demonstrate that scientific/artistic experimentation can take place within the DIY and open source domains, and that biology and custom made electronics and software can be friends.More information about Hackteria: www.hackteria.org
