Hosted by TOP, the mini residence by Julian Chollet ends up with a workshop on soil: together with Mindaugas Gapsevicius and Juan Pablo Diaz, we invite you to explore the organic matter of the soil and processes including composting, and digesting. What is humus? What are excrements? What is the role of microbes in soil formation? Participants are invited to reflect on current scientific discourses and critical societal challenges through hands-on tinkering and curiosity-driven research.

Soil is bursting with life and can be vastly different from one square centimeter to the next. From plants, earthworms, insects, and fungi to invisible amoeba, nematodes, algae, and bacteria – each creature provides their own essential role in the soil ecosystem. The shared nature of the soil habitat manifests not only through the highly interconnected so-called “soil food web” – which is mainly driven by microbial metabolism – but also in regard to humans and their dependence on the productivity of edible plants.
 
  
HUMUS sapiens represents a compilation of soil explorations emerging from the networks of mikroBIOMIK, Hackteria, and Gasthaus – with the ambition to bring DIY (do-it-yourself) and DIWO (do-it-with-others) approaches as well as an open-source-based “hacker spirit” into soil ecology.

As part of the Children Climate Camp 2018, we were invited to do a workshop series on soil microbes at the BUND Naturschutz- und Jugendzentrum Wartaweil. Several groups of children between the ages of 8 and 12 collected samples, rummaged through compost, and observed the wild mini-creatures at work. A day full of muddy hands, astonished faces and fascinating insights into the world of invisible life.

Exkursion 3: Open Soil research – Einblicke durchs Mikroskop <br>

Datum: '''16. Oktober 13:30 – 15:00 Uhr'''<br>
 +
 
 +
'''German'''<br>
 +
Wer wohnt in unserem Kompost? Was essen Regenwürmer? Wie entsteht Humus?
 +
Bei diesem Workshop geht es um spielerisches Lernen, matschige Hände und staunende Gesichter. Entdecke eine verborgene Welt im Kleinen: geh hinaus, sammle Proben und beobachte die kleinen Lebewesen wie sie organischen Abfall in fruchtbare Erde verwandeln.  
 +
 
 +
'''English'''<br>
 +
Who lives in our compost? What do earthworms eat? How is humus produced? This workshop is about playful learning, muddy hands and the exploration of a miniature universe. Discover a hidden world on a small scale: go out, collect samples and observe the little creatures as they turn organic waste into fertile soil.
 +
 
 +
You can also bring your own sample.

As part of the Transmedial "Vorspiel" (Prelude) at ACUD Berlin we had an interactive exhibition on the theme "SCOBI, Shit and Humus" - in cooperation with Mindaugas Gapsevicius and Juan Pablo Diaz. Among other things, the participants had the opportunity to analyze their own soil or compost samples under a microscope. With more than 500 visitors and very positive feedback, we consider the event a great success.

Who is HUMUS sapiens?

«HUMUS sapiens» represents a compilation of soil explorations emerging from the networks of

We bring DIY (do it yourself) and DIWO (do it with others) approaches as well as an open source based ‘hacker spirit’ into soil ecology. We invite you to reflect on current scientific discourses and critical societal challenges through hands-on tinkering and curiosity driven research.

We are building a network of soil enthusiasts for long-term collaborative research and invite YOU to join us. Read more on mikroBIOMIK

Mini-residency: 01.-07. October 2018
Workshop: SUN 07.10.2018, 17:00

HUMUS (sapiens)

SUN 07.10.2018, 17:00 @ TOP project space, Schillerpromenade 4, 12049 Berlin (http://www.top-ev.de/other/humus-sapiens/)

Hosted by TOP, the mini residence by Julian Chollet ends up with a workshop on soil: together with Mindaugas Gapsevicius and Juan Pablo Diaz, we invite you to explore the organic matter of the soil and processes including composting, and digesting. What is humus? What are excrements? What is the role of microbes in soil formation? Participants are invited to reflect on current scientific discourses and critical societal challenges through hands-on tinkering and curiosity-driven research.

Soča (Slovenija) August 2020

This year with fewer participants but at least as much action: Herbalism with Dario & Darja, soil scanning and microscopy with Julian, hiking, music, etc. Many thanks to all the wonderful people there!! :)

Workshop in Bohinjska Bistrica

Directly after PIFcamp, Julian gave a HUMUS sapiens workshop in Bohinjska Bistrica: a lively and family friendly afternoon with lot’s of time outside. We were digging holes and found hundreds of tiny creatures. One participant had to take a rest from all the exitement. ;)

Many thanks for the invitation to Urška from KAMRA Art Projekt Bohinj as well as Tina & Uroš from Projekt Atol.

Workshop at CŠOD Trilobit (July 2021)

Topic "Electricity from mud: build your own microbial fuel cell" - held within the framework of the konS platform – “Network of Investigative Art and Culture Centres”.

Many thanks to Tina & Uroš from Projekt Atol as well as konS.




Remote workshop on microbial fuel cells (Januar 2022)

A workshop on microbial fuel cells - from a distance and yet somehow in the middle of Mz*Baltazar's lab.

Many thanks to Stefanie.




Soil workshop in Maribor (March 2023)

Julian gave a workshop on soil organisms for children at the GT22 educational laboratory in Maribor, Slovenia. We used different types of professional and homemade microscopes to observe all the little creatures crawling, creeping and swimming through soil, compost and leaves.

Additional workshops

BUND Naturschutz- und Jugendzentrum Wartaweil

As part of the Children Climate Camp 2018, we were invited to do a workshop series on soil microbes at the BUND Naturschutz- und Jugendzentrum Wartaweil. Several groups of children between the ages of 8 and 12 collected samples, rummaged through compost, and observed the wild mini-creatures at work. A day full of muddy hands, astonished faces and fascinating insights into the world of invisible life.

Datum: 16. Oktober 13:30 – 15:00 Uhr

German
Wer wohnt in unserem Kompost? Was essen Regenwürmer? Wie entsteht Humus? Bei diesem Workshop geht es um spielerisches Lernen, matschige Hände und staunende Gesichter. Entdecke eine verborgene Welt im Kleinen: geh hinaus, sammle Proben und beobachte die kleinen Lebewesen wie sie organischen Abfall in fruchtbare Erde verwandeln.

English
Who lives in our compost? What do earthworms eat? How is humus produced? This workshop is about playful learning, muddy hands and the exploration of a miniature universe. Discover a hidden world on a small scale: go out, collect samples and observe the little creatures as they turn organic waste into fertile soil.

You can also bring your own sample.

Interactive exhibition "SCOBI, Shit and Humus" @ACUD Berlin

As part of the Transmedial "Vorspiel" (Prelude) at ACUD Berlin we had an interactive exhibition on the theme "SCOBI, Shit and Humus" - in cooperation with Mindaugas Gapsevicius and Juan Pablo Diaz. Among other things, the participants had the opportunity to analyze their own soil or compost samples under a microscope. With more than 500 visitors and very positive feedback, we consider the event a great success.
