Nomadic Science Workshop aka Pre Symposium BioHackLab

NOMADIC SCIENCE BIOHACKLAB & EXTREME METABOLIC INTERACTIONS: COOKING FOR APOCALYPSE

Short Info

DIYbio and Open Biology tribute to Renaissance alchemist, makers, artisans, and tinkerers of Prague

  • 3 - 8. December, 2012
  • 5 days of collaborative hacking, making, brewing, reflecting, discussing.
  • invite 3-4 international BioHackers/Artists
  • collaborate with the local hackerspace, brmlab, andrej, rdka

Description

We want to revive the creative science experimentations mixed with craft tradition, rich religious and mythological iconography, but also arts, which enabled the unique global exchanges in the 17.century Europe and gave rise to modern science. We want to return to these origins to develop our project of a nomadic science, which does not settle and identify with one institution nor one discipline and goal. It operates under the hackerspace paradigm, as a Renaissance utopian artisan network with their particular style of circulation and exchange of information (see Vera Keller, a historian of science). The Hackteria network revived this tradition of learned friendships and exchanges and introduced the forgotten format of “album amicorum”, book of friends, by members traveling and gathering personal texts and illustrations from colleagues and exchanging “wishlists” (desiderata) on various eccentric projects.

Present day tinkerers, disciplinary wanderers and artisans are invited to Prague to enjoy the “folly of empirics” and join us for a week of celebration of “maker’s knowledge”, eccentric science and inventions. While open biology and DIYbio often identify with attempts to democratize science and create open source, cheaper equipment and protocols, we want to open science to new, imaginative uses and collaborations, which support utopian and eccentric projects. Nomadic science is the opposite of institutionalized science. It supports lab “pastoralism” and moving from one location to the next in order to create autonomous zones for science tinkering and exchanges, which never settle for one goal or model of research and refuses progressivism in favor of radical openness and even knowledge anarchism.

In Prague we plan to commence a "lab archeology" by connecting old and new lab equipment, spaces, and protocols, and defining desiderata of nomadic science. Rather than creating more efficient and cheap DIYbio equipment, we want to design more creative and imaginative, even imaginary equipment, and embrace the aesthetic possibilities of hacking and anarchistic marking. We want to develop further the idea of "media is the message" into “lab equipment is the science” approach. Instead of 3D printers and plastic we want to rehabilitate glass as the material of choice for open biology and democratize more materials for creative appropriations of science. We want to translate science protocols into artistic and alchemist iconography, read these new protocols against old texts, combine practices and equipment, rethink some new uses of old distillation and fermentation apparati, translate and compare on this material level the various practices and ideas. While science supports institutional knowledge with well-defined methodology, theory, and labor division, we want to revive alchemy as a space of improvisation and tinkering, which gave rise to plural ideas of political, economic and philosophic reform. The Senecan commonplace, “There was never a great talent (ingenium) without some mixture of madness” (Nullum magnum ingenium sine mixtura dementiae fuit), in the motto for nomadic science as a utopian project of plural science & society interactions.

space

We will have our open Bio/Food-Hacking lab in a Bar called Vzorkovna, on Bartolomějská 13, Old Town / Prague 1. Very close by foot from the Mutamorphosis Conference Venue. The space will be open for visits and discussion from 12 - 23h.

Nomadic Furniture

Nomadic life means travel and reduce your equipment to the necessary. Still you want some good working condition. A chair, a bench, a small storage. How to build nomadic furnitre? From wood, suitcase, fabric. Let's explore. Recommended Reading: http://www.instructables.com/id/Nomad-Furniture%3A-design,-case-studies,-and-philoso/

CULINARY FORENSICS

GOAL

Given a random mix of spices how do you determine what the constitute ingredients are?

What pieces of information do you know?:

  • number of ingredients
  • identity of some of the ingredients
  • etc.
  • What kind of questions do you need to figure out to get to the next step?

SpiceBoard2.jpg

PROTOCOL

SpiceSlide.jpg

1. Smell the mix. Can you identify any of the components by smell?

2. Can you mechanically separate the ingredients by color, shape and size using a pair of tweezers?

3. Can you taste each of the separated ingredients and identify them?

4. When you look at them under the microscope do you notice any differences? Can you compare the microscopy images with other images online?

////

5. Is Chromatography a way to separate the constituent parts?

INSPIRATION

AKA KFC >>> CFK: Crowdsourced Flavor Kit

Advice recieved for when @centgg asked Anyone know how to analyze a spice blend? Someone emailed wondering how they can find out whats in a spice blend that Grandma left behind.

  • @noii: mix with liquid and separate out with chromatography? a search suggests they use hplc to test spice strength https://t.co/hw4b47I0
  • @noii: you would need to compare the stripes from your spice mix with tests with known spices
  • @cetgg: Thanks Ben. I will pass those along. And now I am wondering if it is possible to reverse engineer the KFC spice blend using these? :)
  • @gharp: spice measurement standard
  • @gharp: "spices just a guess: possibly revealed with spectrophotometry or chromatography. might be a nice set of bumps and lines to construct"
