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.
Contents
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.

Overview work plan
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
details
- 1rst hands on: setting up the working place, materials and start the construction of the basiclab setup to the betatests.
In paralel recolect and process information and datanalisis about the subject of study, the glands in relation with the questions proposed to understand. 1rst expedition: to the prostate and uroginecology clinics to be aware of the exams they do, the approach they have and if is possible make a test to contrast with ours. (with veronika arauzo)
- 2d hands on: debuging the diylab equipment and continue the hacks and how to perform better the analisis
- 2d expedition: to investigate deeply about the questions proposed and open fedback gates to this field of investigation.
3r hands on: Process the information to final debug of the lab equipment and put it into a mobile format.
- 3rd expedition: make a workshop and open feedback debate with grassrots communities in the espai del inmigrante.
In paralel to all process documenting on the wiki and seting up the website.
MobileLABS
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

Expeditions
- 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)
- 1rst expedition: Visit the Prostatic Disease Institute and TEKNOGIN looking for information, suggestions, feedback, social principles, and depending on the conditions and ofers perform an specific bioanalisys.
http://www.prostatebarcelona.com/index.asp , es un centro de Ginecología, Obstetricia y Medicina reproductiva, http://www.teknogin.com/
- 2nd expedition: Visit the Parque de Investigación Biomédica de Barcelona (PRBB), get information, specific concil, research feedbacks and ask for a specific hitehc bioanalytical service.

- 3rd expedition: workshop and debate in the "espacio del inmigrante" in the raval with Prostitutas indignadas colective (organized street sexworkers activists) and the Movimiento de Vida Independiente (funtional diversity movement)

Remote Node Helvetia
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.
