<-- Go back to Hackteria Workshops in ZKM 2016

General

BioCyberKidzz

Intro

  • A3 color posters - PRINT AND ATTACH
  • 2 projector beams (ZKM)


Xtra Senses

Magnetic Finger (m)

  • super small super magnets
  • Band aid - tape (micropore) (š-have some)
  • set-up to detect electricity (power cable under sheet of paper) (m)

Bio-Accoustic Ear

  • cardboard (š)
  • stapler (incl. staples ammo) (ZKM)
  • elastic band (š)


BodyModd

Disco-on-a-Fingertip (m)

  • 3V CR2025 flat battery
  • various LED, coloured
  • RGB blinky LEDs
  • electric wire

Creature of a New World

  • color paper (š & ZKM)
  • scissors (ZKM)
  • staplers (ZKM)
  • elastic band (š)
  • balloons (š)
  • wires(š)
  • strings (š)
  • glue (ZKM)
  • various tapes (š)
  • feathers (š)
  • miscellaneous (š)
  • pantyhose (š)
  • aluminum foil (š)


Alternative Energy

Photosynthetic Skin

  • sodium alginate (NaAlg) (š)
  • calcium chloride (CaCl2) (m/š)
  • micro-algae (Chlorella) (š)
  • brush (š)
  • plastic containers/bowls (m/ZKM)
  • spoon/stirrers (ZKM)
  • plastic pasteur pipettes (š)
  • water
  • petri dishes (š)
  • microscope (m) attached to projector (ZKM) for checking out the animalga and Chlorella
  • Convoluta roscoffensis culture (I hope they live)... they don't look so well at the moment (š)
  • scale (m)


Proposed Workflow 2h session

INTRODUCTION (15 - 20 min):

  • who we are, who they are (are name tags necessary?)
  • what is a human? name your body parts. what do we use them for? intended to open an associative field - senses (ears, eyes, skin, nose), limbs (what for), organs (mouth/stomach, lungs, muscles,bones, brain)
  • what is a body hack? MODIFICATIONS, AUGMENTATIONS (add-ons), ACCESSORIES -- check posters for inspiration
  • goal of workshop -- hack, change and accessorise your body --> INTRODUCE that in the end, you will have to present the collection of augmentations you have and what you could now do with them that you couldn't do before

ELECTRONIX (15 min)

  • sensing electricity (MacBook experiment)/sensing magnetic fields (birds can do it)/sensing ferromagnetic metals (we can't)
  • magnet on a a fingertip -- experiment with sensing electricity/various materials
  • add-on - seeing in the dark (like cats) -- an LED on the finger


BODYMODD (30 min)

  • adaptations to different ENVIRONMENTS/SITUATIONS -- animal slide show from (projector) -- morphology/ senses/ fashion=sexual selection;
  • pick an environment/situation and envision a body modification that suits that environment (as inspiration perhaps have environment slide-show in the background -- sewer, city, dessert, ice, moon)
  • make it!!

TAILS, EARS, SHAPES


PHOTOSYNTHETIC SKIN (15 min)

  • what to plants do? make food from sun, produce oxygen
  • look at chlorella using microscope on projector
  • introduce the photosynthetic worm - animal/alga -- look at it on the projector and in centrifuge tubes
  • use chlorella + alginate to make mock photosynthetic skin

PRESENTATIONS (30 min)

  • each kid tells how about their changes/improvements

NanoHacking

Spela says...

  • plastic petri dishes (š only a few)
  • glass slides!!! (m)
  • scale (m)
  • centrifuge tubes (15 mL) (š)
  • tweezers (m)
  • glass beaker for weighing NaOH/KOH (m)
  • plastic pipettes (š))
  • canola oil (š)
  • olive oil (š)
  • NaOH, KOH (š)
  • microscope w/ timelapse possibility (m)
  • acetone (š)
  • paper towels (ZKM)
  • gloves (m)

see (š)/(m)/(ZKM)... i presume it's self-explanatory :D
