Overview
We are happy to hold a workshop during ISEA2010 in Dortmund. Andy and Marc will go into various aspects of the hackteria project, create an atmosphere of a bio-hacklab and introduce the participants and visitors into the world of living microorganisms, how to look at them with self-made microscope and how to combine the living [...]
Easy modification of a Playstation 3 Eye, high-speed camera, optimized for low-lighting and motion detection. Thanks to Alejo Duque for coming up with the idea and prototyping the setup.
Step 1 – Open it up, f**k warrany
Use a small screw driver and open up the case of the PS3eye. The screws are hidden under the small [...]
Together with Akbar, microbiologist and DIY wine fermentation-guru from the agriculture faculty in Gadjah Mada University (UGM) , we have been working on modifying an old microsopy stage, they had lying around in the lab. We removed a lot of the old optical parts, and ended up, mounting the hacked PS3 Eye on the lower [...]

First of all, bioelectronix must be distinguished from bioelectronics; bioelectronics is the emerging science of biomedical technology centred around such devices as ‘lab on a chip’ and implantable neural interfaces. Complex and expensive technologies from the closely guarded and secret world of cutting edge scientific research. Bioelectronix, on the other hand, is the appropriation and development by artists of certain aspects of these technologies in an (generally) open-source and (generally) do-it-yourself environment. Relatively cheap and simple technologies which can be shared, improved and distributed through an open network of users and enthusiasts.
We are currently doing a workshop in Vico Morcote, Ticono, during the yearly hacker’s camp, home-made labor research week, organised by the Swiss Mechatronic Art Society. While there is some massive soldering actions, noise-experiments and easy sunbathing and swimming, we have settled down with a small DIY microscopy workshop in the grapes pergola overlooking the [...]
After showing the hackteria project to Prof. Irfan D. Prijambada during the cellsbutton#03 Yogyakarta international media art festival, he wanted to have a longer workshop with his group to introduce the DIY microscopy project.
The workshop will be held on Monday, 10th August 2009, in the Laboratory of Soil and Environmental Microbiology, Faculty of Agriculture, Gadjah [...]
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 [...]
