Hlab14 Book: Reflections on HackteriaLab 2014 - Yogyakarta

Citizen science has long contributed to the health of local communities by making people aware of their environment in the form of oral histories and traditional wisdom. Recently, international open source and maker movements have been actively engaging with the life sciences to focus on the environment. This brought a revival of the tradional knowledge as well as an opportunity for innovation and a model for public participation in science. These activities are becoming influential policy forces changing how we produce and share knowledge as an iterative and collective process. Yogyakarta, Indonesia, has been one of the most active hubs in this movement.

HackteriaLab 2014 – Yogyakarta was held in April 2014 as a two-weeks making-oriented gathering of researchers, artists, scientists, academicians, hackers and whatevers in Yogyakarta. It expanded on ideas and methodologies about BioArt, DIY biology, DIWO (Do-It-With-Others), appropriate technology, art and science, and biohacking, developed during the previous versions of HLab10 - Dock18, HLab11 - Romainmotier both in Switzerland and HLab13 - Bangalore, India. HLab14 was hosted by LIFEPATCH - citizen initiative in art, science and technology and co-organized together with HACKTERIA | Open Source Biological Art in collaboration with various regional partners.

This book tried to assemble a collection of essays written by the participants, asked to reflect on their own experiences, individually or collectively, which only gives a glimpse into all the projects and exchanges that happend during HLab14. With a short overview of the programme and activities, selected photo impressions and the exhibition manual the book is rounded up and can be an entry point to explore further our online resources and serve as an inspiration for transdisciplinary collaborative practices.

Contents

HackteriaLab 2014 is scheduled to be held in April 2014, in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A number of smaller events, workshops, residencies and exhibitions will prequel the main collaborative lab-phase. It is the fourth edition of an intensive two-week transdisciplinary collaboration amongst international and local artists, hackers, activists, scientists, and designers. HackteriaLab 2014 expands on ideas and methodologies about BioArt, DIY biology, Appropriate Technology, ArtScience and BioHacking, developed during the previous versions of HackteriaLab 2011 - Romainmotier and HackteriaLab 2010 - Dock18/Zürich in Switzerland and HackteriaLab_2013_-_Bangalore in India.

Within the framework of "Hackteria | Open Source Biological Art", the HackteriaLab immersive format plays a key role in experimentation and the development of new models for knowledge sharing and collaboration building, in the emergent artistic practices related to bio- and nanotechnology and science in general.

HackteriaLab, our version of a production workshop, is a form of cultural intervention, contributing to the development of our contemporary culture and art milieu. It creates a melting pot of the practices of art and science, of culture and environment. It aims to broaden the intercultural knowledge exchange and realizes this know-how through workshops, participatory prototype exhibitions and online wiki-like documentations.

HackteriaLab 2014 invites international artists and scientists to collaborate with local communities, which have been intensively working with specific local social and ecological issues in Yogyakarta.

International Collaborations meet Regional Networks

Network of International and Regional Partners

The programs attached to HLab14 are now organized by Lifepatch in close collaboration with the International Hackteria Society and affiliated with both local and internatioanl collaborators. The program involves field research, participatory art practices, open laboratory, retreats and workshops. Designated final activities are two days of presentation from all makers/participants and an exhibition of selected processes followed by workshops. These two particular activities were chosen because we believe that similar approaches, methods and practices are real and present within all collaborators and participants; opening up an opportunity to meet and exchange for all these people from allover the world and local practitioners would open up the chances and possibilities for future collaborations.

HLab14 Preparations

To help the participants to find their way and the important places during HackteriaLab, we are working on a interactive map "Yogya for Geeks"

Various meetings with our local partners in Yogyakarta are happening, see details about the HackteriaLab 2014 Preparations.

Connecting to local communities. Indonesia is a part of the world where the role and function of the government in citizen’s daily life is non-existing. After 32 years of the ‘silent’ dictatorship of the new order regime and 15 years of reformation, the idea of democracy and how the state should function has not reach a mutual agreement. Even so, ever since the idea of Indonesia was seeded, there have been many initiatives, both by collectives and individuals, that partially plays the roles of the state —starting from organizing themselves, organizing their family, organizing their surroundings, and it gets bigger and bigger. What we now know as DIY (Do-It-Yourself), DIWO (Do-It-With-Others), open-source and all that are nothing new at all. Being citizens, the Indonesians are used to being busy mending things that the government should have done for their citizens. Lifepatch is a citizen initiative that works in a creative and effective applications in the fields of art, science and technology. In its activities, Lifepatch’s practices focus on the arts and educations in science and technology that are practical and useful for citizens around them. This is done through with the development of creative and innovative practices in technology such as biological technology, environmental technology and digital technology. In practice, Lifepatch enriches the culture emphasizes on the spirit of DIY and DIWO by inviting designated public to be involved, to examine, explore, develop and maximize the function of technology in both the theoretical and practical use to society and culture itself.

HLab14 Tourdigrade

To connect to our regional partners, we are going on tour for a series of workshops, hackathons and presenation. On the roadmap is our partners in Surabaya, W.A.F.T. Lab, the Ruangrupa community in Jakarta, and friends in our networks in Tobucil, Bandung and Jatiwangi Art Factory.

See the full details and schedule in Indonesian on Lifepatch wiki

HLab14 Main-Phase: 13 - 25 April

HLab14 is organized such that participants are tapped into an active, operating situation to minimize time loss in initial research and mappings etc. Collaboration with local communities who have knowledge and experience of the problems in the field, will guide the participants to focus what can be developed during the research lab phase in a directed manner. With the communities as a facilitators, we can greatly reduce the needed time in defining the problem. Instead, HLab14 participants will be immersed into the multitude of the situations on site. This design of HackteriaLab allows participants to respond with their own practice to the newly encountered situation and to share know-how to develop a process for solutions and realisations. As it may be, the experience may translate to an piece of artwork, a philosophical discourse, a hacked camera or tutorial to cleanse the river water before using it to wash clothes, etc.

>> Ecological Research Nodes

Different ecologies in and around Yogyakarta - Volcano, Rivers, Forests

Citizen science has long contributed to the health of local communities by making people aware of their environment in the form of oral histories and traditional wisdom. Recently, international open source and maker movements have been actively engaging with the life sciences to focus on the environment. This brought a revival of the traditional knowledge as well as an opportunity for innovation and a model for public participation in science. These activities are becoming influential policy forces, changing how we produce and share knowledge, as an iterative and collective process. Yogyakarta, Indonesia is one of the most active hubs in this movement. The proposed project highlights the interests of the hackteria network to develop policies based on awareness-raising. We believe that awareness is essential for consensus building.

We expect each of the participants subscribe to at least one topic (Ecologic Research Nodes) and work together with facilitators under three main topics tightly relating to the daily life of Yogyakarta. They are:

  1. Biorecovery of Volcanic Soil,
  2. Environmental Monitoring of the Rivers in Yogya,
  3. Biodiversity conservation in Wonosadi Forest, together with the focus on Open Source Hardware and DIY & Low-Cost Laboratory Infrastructure.

The local communities that have been working intensively with the issues with the local people will participate as facilitators within the framework of HLab14.

>> Biorecovery of Volcanic Soil

The project will be based on Lifepatch's ongoing study of agricultural microbiology for soil bio-recovery of soil altered by volcanic eruptions. Based on this field research, novel policy suggestions will be made on how workshops can raise community awareness, and applied to other ecology management issues. Additionally we will try to develop new DIY & Low-Cost Laboratory Infrastructure to enable remote monitoring of the environment up on the volcano mountain. Specific ideas are desribed here

>> Environmental Monitoring of the Rivers in Yogya

There are three main rivers which pass through the urban areas of Yogyakarta, Code River, Winanga River, and Gajahwng River. Lifepatch in collaboration with many communities have conducted a project called Jogja River Project (JRP) on these rivers since 2011. This project is also part of the Biodesign collaboration with EPFL and will be disseminated in June '14 in Lausanne.

Specific Ideas are discussed here.

>> Biodiversity conservation in Wonosadi Forest

Wonosadi is one of the last natural forests in Java. This forest is protected by the local villagers in close collaboration with Green Tech Community. The node aims to document the diversity in the forest, along with narratives and knowledge from the local villagers. During our Field-trip and overnight camping (bring and test your HackteriaLab 2014 MobileLabs) we have a chance to interact and explore the ideas described here

newspaper article look after the forest and forest looks after you

>> Collaborative Research Nodes

Lab-on-a-Bike: Various collaborations with hackteria.org have been implemented since 2009

>> Art Practices

Mutual interdisciplinary collaborations are not easy to find nowadays. In the context of art and science, a project either benefits only the artist(s) or only the scientist(s). It is not unusual that these practices tends to appear in a way that one discipline is exploiting the other. These kind of projects then have minimum level of sustainability because in the end only one aspect of the collaboration that could use the result/product/object.

HLab14's participants are challenged to redefine and try out how an artistic practice can support social innovation, cultural shifts, change and at the same time able to be positioned in its own discipline.

>> Open Source Hardware, DIY & Low-Cost Laboratory Infrastructure

How can we set-up a simple DIY laboratory in a low-resource setting or even in the forest without electricity? Which tools and infrastructure we have to make ourselves, how hack custom household devices to use as laboratory equipment, design simple electronics for control and monitoring of biolab protocolls? The Researcher-in-Residence, Marc Dusseiller aka dusjagr, together with various participants will look into these topics in the preparation phase and go out into the wild for field-testing during the main HLab14. We focus on various projects of OSH for environmental sensing, water monitoring and co-organize local workshops pre and during the HLab14.

Background

Background of Collaboration

Since our participation at Cellsbutton#03 in 2009, we have very actively collaborated with various initiatives in and around Yogyakarta. We also worked together on projects and workshops about microscopy, fermentation and other playful biological experimentations across the globe and had active participants from the lifepatch community joining both HackteriaLab 2011 - Romainmotier and HackteriaLab_2013_-_Bangalore. Our collaborations are described on the hackteria website and the lifepatch wiki.

As partners in the Hackteria network, Lifepatch has been a most active node and contributor in citizen-science and artistic works at the art/sci interface, especially with their award-winning microbial fermentation project applied to agriculture and wine-making in Yogyakarta. As a platform for knowledge sharing and artistic exploration, Hackteria constitutes a network of artists and researchers that merge the use of life sciences with artistic interpretations, hacking and do-it-yourself strategies. Since 2010 the network met regularly and gathered in Switzerland in 2010 & 2011, where the Asia-European collaborations have intensified, including co-organization and active participation at HackteriaLab 2013 - Bangalore (IN). Workshops within this network have been held in more than 20 countries since 2009.

Yogyakarta

Yogyakarta (English: /ˌjɒɡjəˈkɑrtə/ or /ˌjoʊɡjəˈkɑrtə/, Malay: [jɔɡjaˈkarta]; also Jogja, Jogjakarta) is a city and the capital of Yogyakarta Special Region in Java, Indonesia. It is renowned as a centre of classical Javanese fine art and culture such as batik, ballet, drama, music, poetry, and puppet shows. Yogyakarta was the Indonesian capital during the Indonesian National Revolution from 1945 to 1949. One of the districts in Yogyakarta, Kotagede, was the capital of Mataram Sultanate between 1575 and 1640. The city is named after the Indian city of Ayodhya from the Ramayana epic. Yogya means 'suitable, fit, proper', and karta, 'prosperous, flourishing' (i.e., 'a city that is fit to prosper'). - taken from [Wikipedia]

As a central city of education in Indonesia, Yogyakarta is a destination for students from every location in Indonesia to pursue higher education. Yogyakarta offers high quality of education and affordable daily living cost. These condition made Yogyakarta suitable for wide range creative communities activities.

International Partners

Through informal collaborations with our large group of affiliated partners, who will be involved in bringing participants to the HackteriaLab, we are aiming at opportunities, that they bring back the learned experiences and seed similar initiatives of community based art/sci activities. The broad foundation of our network (from India to Slovenia or Nepal to the Netherlands) can thus help redefining cross-cultural collaborations, meaning both crossing economic and cultural borders, as well as disciplinary borders of scientists, activists, educators and artists.
