Some experiences of setting up labs, mostly on creative and collaborative spaces to work with living media, bioart and biohacking. Also generally on "People over Infrastracture", and why we don't need lists, but activities. Examples from setting up a space for DIY electronics in Zurich, the MechArtLab, temporary labs on nanotechnology, NanoSmano, Summercamps and more. And finally how Interactivos? has influenced the HackteriaLab model and also how we initiated the BioTehna lab together with Kapelica Gallery in Ljubljana.
