dusjagr's research / networking trip to Latin America (Argentina, Chile, and let's see where i gonna end up)

What is it about?

dusjagr goes for a research trip to deepen his existing collaborations in Argentina and beyond, extend the global hackteria network, explore and find new interesting intitiatives, and prepare and research on "Why Do We Gather?" in the outlook of the upcoming Gathering for Open Science Hardware (GOSH) to be held in May 2025 in Indonesia. Personal focus on DIY workshop methodologies, bioart, art&science in general, sound and synth making communities, and open to surprise encounters.

Hopefully we can aim at longer term collaborations? Continuing newly established collaborations through the Co-Creation grant
