Overview

Lab-on-a-Bike: Various collaborations with hackteria.org have been implemented since 2009

HackteriaLab 2014 is scheduled to be held in April 2014, in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A number of smaller events, workshops, residencies and exhibitions will prequel the main collaborative lab-phase. It is the fourth edition of an intensive three-week transdisciplinary collaboration amongst international and local artists, hackers, activists, scientists, and designers. HackteriaLab 2014 expands on ideas and methodologies about BioArt, DIY biology, Appropriate Technology, ArtScience and BioHacking, developed during the previous versions of HackteriaLab 2011 - Romainmotier and HackteriaLab 2010 - Dock18/Zürich in Switzerland and HackteriaLab_2013_-_Bangalore in India.

Within the framework of "Hackteria | Open Source Biological Art", the HackteriaLab immersive format plays a key role in experimentation and the development of new models for knowledge sharing and collaboration building, in the emergent artistic practices related to bio- and nanotechnology and science in general.

International Collaborative Research during HackteriaLab 2014 - 18. - 27. April 2014

Nodes of Artistic and Citizen Science Research during the HackteriaLab main-phase

Bioremediation of Volcanic Soil

Environmental Policy for Southeast Asian Rural Communities: youth-driven citizen science workshops on bioremediation of volcanic soils as a model for building community consensus

Citizen science has long contributed to the health of local communities by making people aware of their environment in the form of oral histories and traditional wisdom. Recently, international open source and maker movements have been actively engaging with the life sciences to focus on the environment. This brought a revival of the traditional knowledge as well as an opportunity for innovation and a model for public participation in science. These activities are becoming influential policy forces, changing how we produce and share knowledge, as an iterative and collective process. Yogyakarta, Indonesia is one of the most active hubs in this movement. The proposed project highlights the interests of the hackteria network to develop policies based on awareness-raising. We believe that awareness is essential for consensus building. The project will be based on Lifepatch's ongoing study of agricultural microbiology for soil bioremediation of soil altered by volcanic eruptions. Based on this field research, novel policy suggestions will be made on how workshops can raise community awareness, and applied to other ecology management issues.

Environmental Monitoring of the Rivers in Yogya
BioArt Practices for Participatory Intervention

Will be choosen through an Open Call, including a Residency

DIY and Open Source Hardware for Low-Cost Laboratory Infrastructure

will be selected through the network of partners

After Phase: Trans-Equatorial Workshops - June - Dec 2014

Workshops in various places in Asia

Workshops and Presentations in various places across Europe

Participations in WSK festival, Philippines

Background of Collaboration

Since our participation at Cellsbutton#03 in 2009, we have very actively collaborated with various initiatives in and around Yogyakarta. We also worked together on projects and workshops about microscopy, fermentation and other playful biological experimentations across the globe and had active participants from the lifepatch community joining both HackteriaLab 2011 - Romainmotier and HackteriaLab_2013_-_Bangalore. Our collaborations are described on the hackteria website and the lifepatch wiki (link?)

Yogyakarta

Yogyakarta (English: /ˌjɒɡjəˈkɑrtə/ or /ˌjoʊɡjəˈkɑrtə/, Malay: [jɔɡjaˈkarta]; also Jogja, Jogjakarta) is a city and the capital of Yogyakarta Special Region in Java, Indonesia. It is renowned as a centre of classical Javanese fine art and culture such as batik, ballet, drama, music, poetry, and puppet shows. Yogyakarta was the Indonesian capital during the Indonesian National Revolution from 1945 to 1949. One of the districts in Yogyakarta, Kotagede, was the capital of Mataram Sultanate between 1575 and 1640. The city is named after the Indian city of Ayodhya from the Ramayana epic. Yogya means 'suitable, fit, proper', and karta, 'prosperous, flourishing' (i.e., 'a city that is fit to prosper'). - taken from [Wikipedia]

As a central city of education in Indonesia, Yogyakarta is a destination for students from every location in Indonesia to pursue higher education. Yogyakarta offers high quality of education and affordable daily living cost. These condition made Yogyakarta suitable for wide range creative communities activities.

Hackteria logo2012 green black.png

Hackteria is a collection of Open Source Biological Art Projects instigated in February 2009 by Andy Gracie, Marc Dusseiller and Yashas Shetty, after collaboration during the Interactivos?09 Garage Science at Medialab Prado in Madrid. The aim of the project is to develop a rich web resource for people interested in or developing projects that involve DIY bioart, open source software and electronic experimentation. As a community platform hackteria tries to encourage the collaboration of scientists, hackers and artists to combine their expertise, write critical and theoretical reflections, share simple instructions to work with lifescience technologies and cooperate on the organization of workshops, festival and meetings.Since 2009, Hackteria has conducted workshops in Europe (Switzerland, Slovenia, Norway, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, United Kingdom, Germany) , Asia (India, Indonesia, Taiwan, Hong Kong), Africa (Kenya) and North America (US, Canada).

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

The Finnish Society of Bioart, established May 2008 in Kilpisjärvi and based in Helsinki, is an association developing, producing and facilitating activities around art and science, especially natural and life sciences, with biology and ecology at its centre. The Society is the Finnish contact node in international networks of bioart and art&science. It has currently 62 members, representing a multitude of fields within art, scientific research and other expertise. Its activities encompass the development and production of lectures, workshops, conferences, exhibitions, and collaborations with scientists and institutions. The Society runs the Ars Bioarctica project including an artist in residency programme at the Kilpisjärvi Biological Station and fosters public discussions about biosciences, biotechnologies and bioethics. ARS BIOARCTICA. Ars Bioarctica is a long-term art&science project by the Finnish Society of Bioart together with the Kilpisjärvi Biological Station / Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences of the University of Helsinki and was initiated in autumn 2008. The focus of Ars Bioarctica is on the Arctic -nature, -biology and -ecology, with a special interest in the biology of water, snow and ice, environmental and climate change and the relations between nature and culture, perceived through the lens and methods of art- and science-practices.

BIO-DESIGN for the REAL WORLD

BIODESIGN for the REAL WORLD is an interdisciplinary and collaborative research project to define, build, and field-test prototypes that require the integration of wetware, hardware, and software to address real world water problems. In this phase of the project, we aim to build an open-source field-robust bio/chemical/electronic sensor elements and crowd sourced mapping of results that can be replicated in any country with online access and an interested community. We believe that behind any solution, there is a community: to define the problem of interest, make design decisions, to communicate the concerns, and to implement the solutions. This project was launched in 2012 as a partnership between (Art)ScienceBLR with design students from the Srishti School of Art, Design & Technology, (Bangalore, India) the Lifepatch citizen initiative in art, science and technology (Yogyakarta, Indonesia), and students at the School of Life Sciences at EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland).

Waag Society open wetlab, Amsterdam, Netherlands

The Open Wetlab focuses on life sciences and the design and ethics of life. We want to involve the industry, artists and designers, but also the political forces and the public, hands-on in the shaping of biotechnology, as well as in what biotechnology creates. The Open Wetlab aims to offer a platform and discuss other forms of knowledge production in addition to the scientific one. Via a hands-on approach (where the public itself enters in contact and interacts with the technology) the Wetlab wants to give a different interpretation for the debate on usefulness and desirability of Life Sciences in society.
