LifeCycle: Creation
Dr. Marc R. Dusseiller is a Swiss-based transdisciplinary scholar, lecturer for micro- and nanotechnology, cultural facilitator and artist. He performs DIY (do-it-yourself) workshops in lo-fi electronics and synths, hardware hacking for citizen science and DIY microscopy. Dusseiller presented the work of the global Hackteria network at our LifeCycle: Creation event at swissnex San Francisco.
Around the world, maker spaces are placing the latest biological and genetic technologies into the hands of amateur scientists. From engineering new types of cheese or homemade insulin to tinkering with bioluminescent algae, citizen science initiatives are bringing laboratory science to the world, unleashing new forms of creativity and experimentation. We brought together key players from the Global Hackteria network, the Innovative Genomics Institute, Counter Culture Labs, Open Insulin, and McVicker Pickles for an evening exploring the future of biology through Do-It-Yourself projects ranging from brewing kombucha to extracting your own DNA for implantation into watermelons.
