“Hackteria” – Open Source Biological Art

(Mobile Phone Field Microscope)

“Ever wondered how to turn a simple webcam into a microscope, safely cultivate GFP bacteria, hack DVD burners to make your own nano and bio experiments, or how to use other cheap, easy to come by material in order to build an hydrometer(instrument to measure the relative density of a liquid), an incubator or even a bat detector? Then you should check out the DIY pages on Hackteria‘s wiki or enroll into one of their workshops.

Hackteria is a collection of Open Source Biological Art Projects started in 2009 byAndy Gracie, Marc Dusseiller and Yashas Shetty. They have since been joined byAnthony Hall, Urs Gaudenz, and a growing community of people keen on making experiments and developing their own projects in the field of biological art and science.”
