Mobile Labs Hackathon, Ljubljana



see some ideas on MobileLabs

=Mobile Labs Hackathon=

During the last years we have investigated various approaches on building and using various MobileLabs, MobileKitchenLabs in a hacked Angkringan, in Yogyakarta and Boxology. We explored it's uses at various festivals and conferences such as MutaMorphosis:Nomadic_Science_Lab or Lab-in-a-Van for Ars Electronica's Create Your World Festival. It is time now to focus more in depth about these concepts and we are inviting artists and hackers to come and join us for a 1 week MobileLabs Hackathon in our new facilities of the BioTehna Lab II, Ljubljana.

Mobile Environmental Testing Kit


OD-Meters, such as the Kafi-Schnapps detektor aka Turbidity meter, see BabyGnusbuino

Mobile GeneLab
Putting all the gears you need to do gen testing in one mobile suicase. - PCR (flat blower, LCD) - Electrophoresis Box - Transilluminator (with Web/DigiCam) - Turbidity Meeter - Cooker - Centrifuge - EPI Holder for Pipeting - Cool Box - Power Supply, Battery - Gloves - Paper - Tips - Pipettes (ev. Glas or 3D) To start with, found this wonderful DelSey business suitcase. This suitcase has a great history as it was used back in 1980 by Telsy in Turin (Italy) for their famous "Mobile Telephone Encryptor" TDS-2003 (see picture and Crypto Museum).

Mobile Action Gears
Build truly mobile bio lab gear inspired by the famous Ghostbusters devices: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKbg7CfG7i4 Handheld mobile device for measuring, sample taking, sample storage, fridge and others. As started allready back in 2010 at the HackteriaLab, work on lab in a back-pack. Portable devices, body extensions, implants and other appropriate technologies.

Legislation & Regulations
How to bring regulated or protected technologies to the people? What says the law for different countries. What is prohibited or protected? What technologies or gens are patented? Approximately 137 million people around the world consume arsenic contaminated water. The project "Biodesign for the real world" is about detecting arsenic with a genetically modified organism (a bacteria). http://biodesign.cc There is similar projects like ARSOLUX with "patented arsenic-biosensor". They want to do measuring campaign in Bangladesh, Satkhira, Narayanganj, Chandpur, Pabna und Patuakhali... http://www.ufz.de/arsolux/index.php?en=20706 What is appropriate technology and what is an appropriate use of technology? How to democratize knowledge and how to take decisions, take action and be consistent. Woman taking water from a water pond in Karnataka. Selected quotes from biodesign.cc: "Our biosensor bacteria must be confined because of its resistance to kanamycin [antibiotic]." "Confined = existence of a physical or a chemical barrier between the environment and the organism." "We have to name someone responsible of the biologic security." "We have to notify the authorities what we are doing at least at the beginning of the activities." "Furthermore, we have to think not only of the laws but also of the society..." "...to avoid a potential scandal" "Kolar district in Karnataka has a case of Arsenic contamination due to the nearby gold mines, and we will be visiting Kolar to understand the severity of the contamination." "We would also write down certain questions that we would want to ask the locals in Kolar, in kannada, to acquire more information." "We planned on doing a small workshop with the children who we would meet in Kolar" "We could have a theatre workshop, as we would be staying with a theatre group from Kolar-AADIMA."  "We reached there at around 10..." "It was a lovely place, very scenic." "Not much arsenic was detected in the water, to our disappointment." "Then Marc, who has already had conversations on potable water, asked - “why arsenic?”."
