A creative workshop titled “Lactose intolerant? Let’s employ bacteria!” will be organised in an alternative non-disciplinary research laboratory Alt lab on the 7–8 December 2019, located in a new cultural centre “Sodas 2123” (Vitebsko 21 & 23, Vilnius). The workshop will invite everyone interested in art and science projects, the influence of microorganisms to our bodies and our ability to control them, to join for a session of experimentation.

Workshop with Mindaugas Gapševičius, Jan Georg Glöckner, and participants. In collaboration with Martin Howse

The experiment invites participants to experience interspecies communication and feedback loops between mycelium networks and their habitats, including other organisms and beings. It also proposes the examination of a new networked imaginary between electrochemical signals, digital data, and electromagnetic waves.

Microprocessors implanted in a human, or prostheses mounted on a human might be driven by ultra low voltages gained from the human body. Ultra low voltages could also be used for charging devices like watches or phones. But how about using the gained voltages for leisure? Or creative processes?

Experimentation unfolds through the investigation of SCOBY, shit and humus, which raises questions: What does symbiosis really mean? How can we understand the complex interaction between microorganisms, plants and animals? How is self-organization related to being alive? Continue reading “SCOBY, Shit and Humus @ MO”
