BioAutonomy
EXOglands radical dynamics: fluid, tissues & bloody self-aware enhancement bionicLAB / SoftControl
Extreme own-body cognition, Anarchagland (female eyaculation) & male prostate, decolonial anatomy of pleasure. Unveil taboos with DIY biolab techniques, DIT science & medical hacks reverse engineering. A transdisplinary collaboration based on health issues of colectives who have been marginalized by the desensitized treatment of anything deemed promiscuous & contentious. Grassroots sexual politics empowerment.
This residency is part of the project Soft Control funded by the European Commission through the programme Culture 2007 – 2013

Objectives
- Increase self-anatomical knowledge trough pleasure & biomedical research
- Generate accesible tools and technics to enhance sexual health knowledge and practices
- Generate spaces of visibilities and debate about disident sexualities &health rights of sexworkers
- Grassroot empowerment against sexual violence, medical institutions' discrimination and stigmatization, and bioselfdefense (HIV tests, pregnancy tests, anticonceptive techniques, menstrual extraction, hormones and alternative pregnancy interruption information)
- Creation of tools for a basic and functional mobile biolab of diagnosis and check depending of communities needs.
virology in squirt and , diference between urianalisis, prostate fluid citology, fluids cultures, fluid anatomy of pleasure, uroginecology & proctology miths, morals. resexualize our glands and fluids. wetware.
1ra semana [20-26 abril]
- setup working place & start construction of basic lab & do betatests
- parallel recollect and process info & data about the glands
2da semana [27 abril - 3 mayo]
- visit prostate & uroginecology clinics to be aware of the exams they do and approach they have
- visit biomedical park for deep investigation about the issue
- debug the equipment & continue the hacks
3ra semana [4 - 10 mayo]
- final debug of the lab equipment and develop the mobile format
- workshop & feedback debate with grassroots communities
WETWARE equipment:
- Build a full equipment lab & basic mobile one easy to replicate (fluids & blood analysis).
- CYTOLOGY imagebank, interactive mapping, Illustrated howtos.
- Intersectional debates & viral reproduction of labs beyond the limits of the residency
1: Visit the Prostatic Disease Institute & TEKNOGIN for info, patient/customer principles & bioanalisys. 2: Visit PRBB for specific info & bioanalytical service. 3: Espacio del Inmigrante workshop & debate with Prostitutas indignadas (street sexworkers activists) and the Movimiento de Vida Independiente (funtional diversity movement)
All the process at hackteriaLab wiki as laboratory notebook, editing specific HowTos, writing a narrative article & a scientific paper, generating visual info-graphics, mapping an image web repository with audiolinks to interviews & printing the hole process as a special issue newspaper to spread.

We'll have a parallel gathering with Gaudi, Sachiko, dusjagr and some other friends...
QCM for home diagnostics
We use a hacked TTL crystal to use as a Quartz Crystal Microbalance...
We'll explore the use of Wild openQCM, a clone of the OpenQCM for various diagnostic tests. Blood coagulation, viscosity of the vaginal mucosa or semen quality.
