Overview

Workshops on bio art and DIY biology could be held throughout the whole program of <GLOBALE: Exoevultion> selected through the hackteria network in coordination with the ZKM education department. With it's strong focus on the development of new workshop methodologies at the art/science interface, the hackteria network could provide an interesting series of workshops, mentors will be selected through an open call among the hackteria network.

Suggested topics: DIY Microscopy, Bio-Cyber Kidzz, Art of Fermentation, BioElectronix, NanoHacking and many more.

Dr. Marc R. Dusseiller is a transdisciplinary scholar, lecturer for micro- and nanotechnology, cultural facilitator and artist. He performs DIY (do-it-yourself) workshops in lo-fi electronics and synths, hardware hacking for citizen science and DIY microscopy. He was co-organizing Dock18, Room for Mediacultures, diy* festival (Zürich, Switzerland), KIBLIX 2011 (Maribor, Slovenia), workshops for artists, schools and children as the former president (2008-12) of the Swiss Mechatronic Art Society, SGMK. In collaboration with Kapelica Gallery, he has started the BioTehna Lab in Ljubljana (2012 - 2013), an open platform for interdisciplinary and artistic research on life sciences. Currently, he is developing means to perform bio- and nanotechnology research and dissemination, Hackteria | Open Source Biological Art, in a DIY / DIWO fashion in kitchens, ateliers and jungles/forests across the globe. He was the co-organizer of the different editions of HackteriaLab 2010 - 2014 Zürich, Romainmôtier, Bangalore and Yogyakarta.

BioCyberKidzzz - BodyHacking

Responsible Mentor: Špela Petrič

Co-Mentor: open call

Deutsch:

Menschen »hacken«, also verändern ihren Körper durch Tattoos, Piercings und mit medizinischen Prothesen schon lange. Durch einfache und spielerische Erweiterungen mit alltäglichen Materialien, wie Pappkartons, Magneten und LEDs können wir die menschlichen Körperleistungen steigern. Wir möchten in unserem spielerischen Kinder-Labor erforschen, ob man mit bio-akustischen Ohren besser hört oder was passiert, wenn man einen magnetischen Finger hat. Am Schluss als Bonus dürfen wir eine menschliche fotosynthetische Haut untersuchen.

English:

Hacking the human body has become commonplace and many people have body modifications such as tattoos, piercings or even advanced medical prosthetics. Simple and playful body hacks that allow enhancing our human performance can be made with just few and cheap materials, such as cardboard, magnets and LEDs. In this playful laboratory setting we will investigate with the children: hearing with a Bio-Acoustics Ear and hacking their touch perception by the Magnetic Finger or a Disco-on-a-Fingertip and finally explore a Photosynthetic Skin.

NanoHacking: Convergence of Life and Tech at the Nanoscale – A Hands-on Introduction for Students

Responsible Mentor: Marc Dusseiller

Co-Mentor: open call (2 different co-mentors for the weekends is possible)

Deutsch:

NanoHacking: Die Verschmelzung von Leben und Technologie auf der Nanometerskala - Eine praktische Einführung für Studenten

In diesem Kurs werden die Studenten in die verschmelzenden Kunst-, Wissenschafts- und Ingenieursdiszplinen eingeführt welche auf der Nanometerskala aufeinandertreffen. Aber was ist eigentlich Nanotechnologie? Sie verspricht riesige Fortschritte im globalen Gesundheitswesen, nachhaltige Energie und neue Materialien. Aber gleichzeitig prallen utopische Visionen, Heilsversprechen, Science-Fiction Szenarien und tiefe Ängste im gesellschaftlichen Dialog aufeinander. Während dieses Kurses werden wir diese Nebel der oberflächlichen Diskussionen auflösen und durch "Hands-on" Aktivitäten die Welt des Kleinen und Kleinsten begreifbar machen. Wir werden eigene DIY (do-it-yourself) Instrumente bauen um mit optischen und elektrischen Mitteln mehr zu lernen über Nanopartikel und Nanosensoren. Wir werden dadurch diese kleinsten Phänomene wahrnehmbar machen. Können wir Nanopartikel "sehen", können wir sie "hören" oder gar "riechen"?

Eine Kerneigenschaft der Nanowissenschaften ist die Verschmelzung der traditionellen Disziplinen, wie Physik, Biologie, Ingenieurswesen, um nur einige zu nennen. Um mit den heutzutage bestehenden Instrumenten und Methoden die Materie die uns umgibt auf kleinster Längenskala von Atomen und Molekülen zu verstehen, benötigen wir einen transdisziplinären und kollaborativen Ansatz um wirklich zu neuen Erkenntissen zu kommen, um zu neuen Anwendungen um die globalen Herausforderungen anzugehen und deren gesellschaftliche Implikationen konstruktiv zu diskutieren.

working on it...

English:

During this course, the students will be introduced into the merging disciplines of of art, science and engineering that meet at the nanoscale. But what is nanotechnology? It promises huge beneficial impact on global health, sustainable energy and novel materials. At the same time utopian visions, science-fiction scenarios and fundamental fears are clashing at discussions in society. Throughout the course, we will lift the fogs of these superficial discussions and through hands-on activities get closer to grasp the world of the small. We will build our own simple DIY (do-it-yourself) optical and electronic instruments to learn more about nanoparticles and nanosensors, how to "see" them, how to "hear" them.

One key aspect of the nanosciences is the fact that the traditional disciplinary borders of physics, biology, engineering, to name a few, are merging. With the current tools and methods of understanding matter on the smallest scales of atoms and molecules, only a true collaborative and transdiscplinary approach can lead to new insight, application and constructive discourse of its societal implications.
