Wormolution - Hackteria Temporary Autonomous Laboratory - Sep 2019

12. - 15. September, Le Commun, Geneva, Switzerland

Hackteria coordinates a Temporary Autonomous Laboratory during the early phase of “1000 Ecologies” inviting international researchers, artists and entrepreneurs as participants. The lab as a temporary construction should allow researchers from the fields of biology and engineering to collaborate with artists and so create links between the "two cultures", the human sciences and the arts. On the topic of “Wormolution” participants will explore the territory between plastic as the abundant material of our society and the natural metabolisms and processes in nature. By combining their expertise, share simple instructions and engaging in critical and theoretical reflections artists and scientists will create new ways to combine multiple ecologies, maybe in a circular, maybe in a whole new way of freedom and awareness.

The Laboratory Solutide

For one week a group of biologists, hackers, musicians, artists and educators are gathering at a temporary lab being setup at the Akademie Schloss Solitude. During this gathering of people we are creating a spirit of curiosity, creativity and inspiration to practically explore modern techniques and tools of biology, discuss their role in society today and think about their historic roots in the alchemist’s kitchens of old times.
