Benchlingというソフトでプライマーを設計するためのチュートリアル作ったよ。それで注文したプライマー届いたよ。いつ一緒にPCRする？とその準備。どうしたら植物と菌でPCRができるかみんなで考えよう。あとはわいわい雑談。

BioHack Academyは3ヶ月間の集中学習プログラムで、生物学・バイオテクノロジーの基礎、DIYバイオラボとオープンソースハードウェアの作り方、バイオマテリアルの扱い方、実験の設計と実施方法などを学ぶことに重点を置いています。今回のトークでは、BHAを受講した日本の参加者らが、最終的なプロジェクトのプレゼンテーションを行います。

The BioHack Academy is a 3-month intensive learning program, with a focus on learning the basics of biology and biotechnology, how to make a DIY bio lab and Open Source hardware, how to work with biomaterials and how to design and conduct experiments. BHA Japan students will present their final projects.

Speculative Cooking Workshop

Green Open Food Evolution proposes a speculative narration into possible dietary programs based on algae rich nutrition, aimed at rewriting the human holobiome so to ultimately become Homo Photosyntheticus. This discovery of the laterality within human microbiome may be only the beginning of a wider field of investigation into the possibilities of human evolution. What would happen to Homo Photosyntheticus, a sort of ultimate vegetarian who no longer eats but lives on internally produced food from his algae symbiont?
Maya Minder is an active Member of International Hackteria Society and the founder of the Open Science Lab. Hackteria is a community platform hackteria tries to encourage the collaboration of scientists, hackers and artists to combine their experitise, write critical and theoretical reflections, share simple instructions to work with lifescience technologies and cooperate on the organization of workshops, temporary labs, hack-sprints and meetings.

Ewen Chardronnet and Maya Minder are in Japan for their artistic research project "Homo Photosyntheticus" on the theme of algae, marine symbioses, ecological transition and human physiological evolution and which aims at the realization of a creative documentary and the construction of an intermedia artistic installation. They will develop two aspects of their current art research.

The talk will be in English.

In person at BioClub Tokyo and online at zoom.bioclub.tokyo

In the current years, a variety of bioart and biodesign works and practices are emerging. We increasingly encounter such works in museums, art spaces and art festivals. When facing such works, how can we have a clue to better understand them?
In this talk, I would like to focus on the figures generated by microbes. Microbial graphics as a expression, such as bacteria, fungi and algae, differ in terms of biological classification, but share common factors such as the need for a culture medium and the generation of dynamic patterns.
We will discuss these factors with reference to the way of seeing and the perspective of analysis in the history of visual culture, and consider microbiological graphics.

Shiho Hasegawa is a Research Fellow at Keio Museum Commons, specializing in modern and contemporary art theory (art history, design studies). She is particularly interested in the intersection of post-modern artistic expression and technology/natural science, from the perspectives of visual culture (film, video), media art, and bioart/biodesign.

Mayumi is going to talk about my 'Music and Yeast' project, she did during BioHackAcademy in Spring 2016. She found out, that certain folk-songs were sung during brewing, acting as a natural timer for the fermentation process. She decided to encode these folk-songs into the DNA of yeast, making the yeast cells 'sing' their own songs.

2016年のBioHackAcademyで発表したプロジェクト「音楽と酵母」についてお話しします。
「音楽と酵母」について：時計のない時代に、清酒の醸造過程を確認する為、蔵人達によって歌われた「酒造り唄」。
醸造技術の発展で今では歌われなくなった「酒造り唄」を、清酒酵母が記憶することは可能なのだろうか？という疑問からプロジェクトは始まった。
「音楽DNAを持つ酵母」をテーマに音楽をDNA塩基配列に変換し、酵母に保存する方法やDNAの塩基を音楽に変換する方法を探った。

The project “YCAM Bio Research,” as one of the R&D projects that YCAM drives, began exploring a variety of points of view aimed at seeking the application possibilities of this technology, such as art expression, education, and community design.
YCAMバイオリサーチ」は、YCAMが推進する研究開発プロジェクトの一つとして、アート表現、教育、コミュニティデザインなど、この技術の応用の可能性を探るべく、さまざまな角度から検討を開始しました。

Life is a complicated concept, and very roughly there are two views. One is "regardless of the presence or absence of a human being, life(ness) resides in objects called organisms" and the other is "the property experienced through by a (inter)subjective relationship to some objects".
