BioTehna

BioTehna is an open platform for interdisciplinary and artistic research on life sciences and a series of public workshops, each mentored by expert/s in a specific scientific field. The initiative started as a collaboration of hackteria | Open Source Biological Art and Kapelica Gallery.

BioTehna Laboratory
Yes, like that, like that :)The BioTehna Lab is a place where we ignite curiosity, experiment and explore interesting connections between nature and technology. Here, artists and scientists creatively combine living systems with innovative engineering solutions and in this way encourage reflection and awareness of the world in which we live in and think about the future.

Exhibitions, workshops and lectures organized by the BioTehna team are just an excuse to involve all those who are interested in active experience, in do-it-yourself (DIY) laboratory processes, hacking various living systems, the integration of living cells and robots, to learn from the different world of plants and animals, detecting super interesting technological tricks and getting to know the secrets which could change the world completely.

BioTehna je platforma za interdisciplinarno raziskovanje o znanosti o življenju in paleta delavnic za mlade in študente z mentorji, strokovnjaki iz posameznih znanstvenih področij. Iniciativa se je pričela kot sodelovanje hackteria | Open Source Biological Art and Galerija Kapelica.

BioTehna Laboratory
poor_mans_bioprinter_overviewJe prostor, kjer netimo radovednost, eksperimentiramo in raziskujemo zanimive povezave med naravo in tehnologijo. Tu umetniki in znanstveniki kreativno in inovativno združujejo žive materiale z inženirskimi rešitvami in na ta način spodbujajo razmišljanje in zavest o svetu, v katerem bomo živeli v bližnji prihodnosti.

Razstave, delavnice in predavanja, ki jih organiziramo v okviru BioTehne, so le izgovor za vključevanje vseh tistih, ki jih zanima aktivna izkušnja v naredi-sam laboratorijskih procesih, hekanja različnih živih sistemov, povezovanja živih celic in robotov, učiti se iz ekstremnega sveta rastlin in živali, odkrivanja super zanimivih tehnoloških trikov in spoznavanja tisočerih skrivnosti, ki bodo mogoče že jutri svet, kot ga poznamo, obrnile na glavo.

    Dear Hackteria,

    I’m Paloma, from São Paulo Brasil, part of a synthetic biology group and dreaming to start a biohack lab around 🙂
    I’ll be backpacking through europe in october and it would be really really noce to meet you 🙂
    Do you think that would be possible? I may be there around Oct 11th.

    thank you!
