Andy Gracie – hostprods

Andy Gracie, London -1967, is an artist working between various disciplines including installation, robotics, sound, video and biological practice. The work he produces is situated between the arts and the sciences, creating situations of exchange between natural and artificial systems which allow new emergent behaviours to develop.
His work has been shown in many exhibitions across [...]

DIY microscopy

Introduction

This project deals with simple ways to build microscopes out of cheap and easily accessible devices/parts.
A small hack to the optics of a standard webcam allows to create video data, with a magnification of around 100 to 400x (depending on the model and the setup) at a working distance of a few mm. The highest [...]

bioelectronix

Integrating electronics into biological culture devices needs different approaches. the use of silicone-rubbers for sealing off the wet/humid bio-part from the silicon circuits and sensors allows the making of hybrid bioelectronic devices.

bioelectronix for artists @ CEMA

Date: 24 – 29 July 09
Location: CEMA, Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology, Bangalore
Overview
The workshop is an experimental make-workshop with multilayered outcome for people interested in DIY-biology, microscopy, sound and simple technological interaction with living microorganisms. Participants will become involved in hacking webcams to be used for live-video microscopy, finding microorganisms from the [...]
