- | (see maja's notes) | + | |
- | * languages & gestures | + | Both improvisation and speculation seemed to be the order of the day, especially when we began to move into realms of bio-based plastics and electronics, |

- | | + | === Closing the loops with bio-materials |
- | * essence & code | + | |
- | * improvisation & speculation | + | Michka and Brian talked about replacing toxic, polluting and rare materials with organic and compostable ones. Metal with melaning, petroleum with starch and casein, plants composted long ago (turning into oil), with plants composted on our terraces. When talking about closing the loop, seeing waste as a resource is an important aspect. Byproducts of fermentation and other processes can become valuable components somewhere else. Ethanol for energy production, glicerol for plastics, cardboard packaging and coffee grounds for propagating mushrooms. |

+ | === Rethinking intelligent systems === | ||
+ | |||
+ | We talked about the need to rethink how we create and use intelligent systems. Two approaches were mentioned: one inspired by permaculture and biomimicry, where we learn about how the parts make and adapt to the whole, through observation, | ||
+ | |||
+ | === People and politics === | ||
+ | |||
+ | The GM discussion was only one element of our discussion about the politics of DIY biology. We discussed the changes in licensing home-labs, the FBI becoming interested in DIY biolabs, the GMO phobia (for better or worse), including " | ||
+ | |||
+ | Meredith talked about Biopunk, as presented in LA in 2010, and what has changed since. Biopunk manifesto was a call for increasing scientific literacy in the field of biology and biotechnology, | ||

- | | + | ==== More time to ferment ==== |
+ | At the end of the workshop, we can look back and attempt to answer FoAM's question "What happens when we put together biohackers and fermenters"? | ||
+ | * many questions are raised and a few are answered | ||
+ | * surprising things are learned by all, and many " | ||
+ | * there are plenty of stories to tell, share and listen to (that need recording!) | ||
+ | * there is no shortage of ideas, but implementation is more difficult | ||
+ | * in both fermentation and biolabs, time is of essence. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To bring together biochymickal artists, we need more time to ferment the cultures, both human and bacterial. | ||
