Here is the simplest method, the fastest and cheapest way to analyze what you have on your plate !

Update: The program is announced!

Three major axis to articulate our work and discussion:

1-Who/Where/What? DIYbio in Europe. Will be mainly composed of short presentations (few minutes) from biohackers and representative of bio-hackspaces (skype conferences will be held at this time) and a round table to give a better view of the participants and also exposing the motivations of the present people to be part of this meeting (Presenting personal projects, Meet fellow biohackers, Creating new bio-labspace, Being simply curious,…).
2- What projects for DIYbio Europe? The goal of this second part is to come with ideas and concepts of innovative projects that could be implemented right away in the DIYbio Europe community. This part will be animated by Makesense, social activists group that will help us make our brainstorming workshops more productive.
3- DIYbio Europe, virtual community or formal organization? During this last session we will draw the foundation of what could become the first european community of amateur biologists! It will again take the shape of a workshop in which participants will get together according to their affinities and try to make a formal, argumented proposition in front of everyone by the end of the session.

The program should then be as followed:

10am-10.15am: Welcome/Coffee
10.15am-12.15am: First Session (Who/Where/What? DIYbio in Europe.)
12.15am-1pm: Lunch
1pm-3.30pm: Second Session (What projects for DIYbio Europe?)
3.30pm-3.45pm: Coffee break
3.45pm-5.45pm: Third Session (DIYbio Europe, virtual community or formal organization?)
5.45pm-6pm: Closing Remarks

Night Event: Still to be announced. Would be great to get together for fine french food and wine :)

Foundation of a European DIYbio (Do-it-yourself Biology) community

On the first weekend of december in Paris (France) is organized the first meeting dedicated to the creation of a European DIYbio community, hosted by the french DIYbio group La Paillasse. This meeting or workshop will be the first of its kind, and will be followed by other ones thoughout Europe during the year 2013. We wish to bring together european actors already involved or that desire to be involved with DIYbio in order to build together the future European Community of amateur biologists.

The challenges here are great. We wish to create a physical and virtual framework that DIYbio labs and amateurs can use for mounting large projects and collaboration. We each have our history and personality and originality, this individuality should be conserved while stronger collaboration should be fostered.

[FR] Microlife es una sound installation from a culture of microscopic algae type Euglena. It was conducted as part of the late residence of the laboratory associations The Pagliacci to Gaite Lyrique (Paris), the 22 April 2012. The computer, using the software Pure Data, retrieves data from its brightness and the culture and changes the reading pre-recorded sounds or generates sounds in turn as a response.

It has been presented as part of the end of residence of the community laboratory The Pagliacci at the Gaite Lyrique museum (Paris, France), the 21th april 2012. The computer, using the Pure Data software, receives variations of sound and luminosity of the culture, and then modifies the reading of sound samples or generates new sounds in response.

/tmp/release : 20, 21, 22 April 2012.

After a year of occupation of the Gaite Lyrique, the collective / tmp / lab / prepares to leave. Leaving the light to find the shade and anonymity, it offers an ultimate event bringing together several workshops & performances : l’Ensemble Philharmonique du /tmp/lab, qui prépare l’arrivée des extra-terrestres ; les bio-hackers de la Paillasse, proteins that are dancing and the sequencing the genome of the biodiversity that surrounds us ; les concepteurs / 3D printers to Usinette, that revive and forms plastics ; les bidouilleurs électroniques, who assemble everyday objects and make them interactive ; les neuro-hackers, that create a luminous psychedelic from brain waves.

 

Ensemble Philharmonique du /tmp/lab :

Inspired by the tradition FLOSS (Free Libre Open Source Software), the entire / tmp / lab announces its screens during a visual and audio performance to the crossroads between writing code in live (live-coding), improvised and electronic music charts.

Usinette : Center for Plastics All :

Description : A RepRap, open source 3D printer will be fueled by a plastic prototype grinder / extruder. The machine close the loop as expected, will revive the milk bottle tops, carcasses of printers and other cans softener.

PROTEIN & OUT :

“Protein & out "is a work of scientific mediation. It is built around a design of biological information and compare this system with that of music (at large). The project plans to sonicate protein and incorporates many of datas : chain of amino acids, masses, areas, forms, position in the cell.
Another apprehension of scientific information can, it goes through enlightenment but also through other media channels. With sound, you engage visitors in an emotional perception of scientific information complemented by visual input to a 3D representation.

Electronic collages :

A workshop on the use of materials that can be found everywhere at home (paper, tissue, paper clips etc. ...) to design simple electronic circuits can easily integrate into any project, whether artistic, decorative, funny or just useful.
Program : fabrication d’encre conductrice, creation of electronic Origamis, travail du métal à mémoire de forme et bien d’ other proposals and experiments.
Come, is possible, with equipment for cutting and some electronic components.

Microlife by Pagliacci.

The workshop offers a Pagliacci DNA barcoding. This method involves the use of analytical tools of genetic sequences to analyze the biodiversity that surrounds us. It will also propose to develop a visualization system projected microorganisms found in places that we frequent daily.
A effet, even if we do not perceive it directly, we are surrounded by a large amount of microorganisms, that colonize all surfaces around us, and even the air we breathe. Through this experience you can learn more about the nature of these living beings, from samples taken on site.

Electronic display by the Church Kopimiste

An exhibition of electronic gadgets will be proposed as a pretty picture which will be crucified on various electronic equipment kept operating, with their innards to the public curious. Workshops and reprogramming experiments will also be, and several masses of the new church Kopimiste.

Neuro-Hack : Psychédelight

Brain waves create lighting scenes for each, immersions colorful and direct subjugation of different types of headlamps.

In Between : Performance Focus

Beams of light, sound vibrations and micro movements are worked by the internal rhythms of two brains captured during a performance, to create a ballet electronic and mechanical oscillations of these brain waves.

Et enfin un Film à Grand Spectacle :

Which : propose the Film 25 fps. Even between each image, gestures, des attitudes et des gouttes de sueur se glisseront pour produire une mousse onctueuse de 4712 pixels wide. This foam will hold the wall certainly, and the high content of organs thoughtful and emancipatory figured prove that it is possible.

“Hands on EEG : Brainwaves in action.”
Nov 30th at Pumping Station: One (Chicago).

After a year of software development, artistic installations and public workshop, tmpbci/Neurohack is working with PumpingStationOne for an open discussion about present and future of brain computer interfaces and related DIY hacks. An hands on session will offer brain music generation (JBMM) and interactions with reprap 3D printers.

Next Workshop will be in Paris (december ?) with fNIRS experience.

After a year of development, installation art and public workshops, tmpbci / Neurohack PumpingstationOne offers a session on the present and future interfaces brain / computer and achievements DIY. A practical workshop will provide the music generation and testing of interactions with RepRap 3D printer.

The next workshop will be held in Paris (December ?) and propose to try the near infrared spectroscopy functional.
