Wetware Hackers: How do we re-imagine cultural production with
wetware as a medium and explore its full tactical and signifying potential? Many of the wetlab procedures needed in order to conduct
this type of work remain opaque and abstract to the general public and artists who donŐt have access to life science research facilities and
expertise. "Wetware Hackers" is a series of hands-on workshops open to ISEA attendees taught by practitioners in the field. Workshops will be
conducted in moderately equipped facilities and are designed for motivated non-experts. Rather than promoting only well-established techniques,
"Wetware Hackers" encourages modification and play with respect to wetware projects. |
