"The innovators of 1600 were hackers before the word existed; they proposed open sharing of ideas for the benefit of humanity. Isaac Newton, Robert Hooke, Descartes, and the other scientists of the late 1600s could not have inaugurated the greatest scientific innovation of all time—the invention of modern science itself—without the Hackers of the 1600s. The Renaissance’s secretive structure was hacked, and it inspired the Scientific Revolution."

Steffi, Hassan, Omer, Stephan
Building a microscope
Step 1.
Install the webcam on the computer.
Step 2.
Take apart the webcam into it`s components until the image sensor and the electronics are disclosed.
(image will be uploaded)
Setp 3.
Turn the Lens (Objektiv) and stick it to the image-sensor to get a microscope.
(image will be uploaded)
Step 4.
Build a stable case or a Box for the microscope (lens and the electronics).
Combine the Lens or the case with a mechanism for the distance-control for better adjustments afterwards.
(image will be uploaded)
Step 5.
Put an object (flower, seeds, etc.) above the lens and adjust the lens until it can be seen in a good quality.
The camera sends the videodata from the Microscope to the laptop. The Object can be seen in nanoscale on the screen of the laptop.

Group 2 - SEE
Group Members: Sabrina, Manuela, Claudio, Manuel
Step 1:
Install the driver of the webcam on the laptop and try to adjust the lens.
Step 2:
Split up the webcam into its electronic parts. Remove the case, edit the lens and flip it up site down. Build a stable construction/framework out of wood. Glue the “microscope” on the framework.
Step 3: Remove one LED from the webcam itself to extend the wires.
Step 4: Get a real-life sample/object out of the nature and make first attempts to adjust the lens.

Who
Mentor - Dr. Marc Dusseiller (CH)
Dr. Marc R. Dusseiller is a transdisciplinary scholar, lecturer for micro- and nanotechnology, cultural facilitator and artist. He works in an integral way to combine science, art and education. He performs DIY (do-it-yourself) workshops in lo-fi electronics and synthesizers, hardware hacking, phyisical computing, nanotech and microscopy. He was co-organizing Dock18, Room for Mediacultures, diy* festival (Zürich, Switzerland), KIBLIX 2011 (Maribor, Slovenia), workshops for artists, schools and children as the former president (2008-12) of the Swiss Mechatronic Art Society, SGMK. In collaboration with Kapelica Gallery, he has started the BioTehna Lab in Ljubljana (2012 – 2013), an open platform for interdisciplinary and artistic research on life sciences. Currently, he is developing means to perform bio- and nanotechnology research and dissemination (Hackteria | Open Source Biological Art) in a DIY fashion in kitchens, ateliers and in developing countries.

Description
Overview
During this course, the students will be introduced into the merging disciplines of of art, science and engineering that meet at the nanoscale. But what is nanotechnology? It promises huge beneficial impact on global health, sustainable energy and novel materials. At the same time utopian visions, science-fiction scenarios and fundamental fears are clashing at discussions in society. Throughout the course, we will lift the fogs of these superficial discussions and through hands-on activities get closer to grasp the world of the small. We will build our own simple DIY (do-it-yourself) optical and electronic instruments to learn more about nanoparticles and nanosensors, how to "see" them, how to "hear" them.
One key aspect of the nanosciences is the fact that the traditional disciplinary borders of physics, biology, engineering, to name a few, are merging. With the current tools and methods of understanding matter on the smallest scales of atoms and molecules, only a true collaborative and transdiscplinary approach can lead to new insight, application and constructive discourse of its societal implications.
