BIOSYNTHS – BUILDING ELECTRONIC MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS WITH NATURE
Synthesizers are generally played using knobs, switches and keyboards. What happens when natural events and phenomena are used as control synthesizers? Can we design instruments that are played by nature? In this workshop we will build our own hand-made synthesizers and we will examine how these synthesizers can be controlled by natural and biological systems so that we can listen to the music nature makes.

A body hack is a usable technique to improve a person's life or physical capabilities. Hacking the human body has become quite commonplace. Many people have body modifications such as tattoos, piercings or even advanced medical prosthetics. Simple and playful body modifications that allow enhancing our human performance can be made with just few and cheap materials, such as cardboard, magnets and LEDs. The Bio-Acoustics Ear amplifier can augment a directional perception of sound. With a Disco-on-a-Fingertip we can modify our fingers into torches, disco lights or fluorescence detectors and we can augment our touch perception and add a new sense of magnetism by building body extension’s such as the Magnetic Finger. Or finally, by mixing algae with agar or other jelly we can make a Photosynthetic Skin. These body modifications will be observed and recorded in The Lab Book. The children will be introduced to a playful laboratory setting where the lab becomes less of an intimidating space but more an environment to spark their curiosity.' The BioCyberKidzz workshop has been developed as a result of HackteriaLab 2011 by collective brainstorms of many individuals and communities, that are devoting their rich experiences in creating alternative crossovers between art and science. It has been invited to festivals such as Ars Electronica 2011 and others.

DNA barcoding

DNA Barcoding We probably will have to do some basic intro to DNA and how barcodes help for species identification. I can do a broad overview and then some hands on with DNA extraction or PCR.
