Beginning: Interactivos?'09 – Cienca de Garaje
Interactivos? is a research and production platform for the creative and
educational uses of technology focused on the collective creation using open
hardware and open software. It's goal is to experiment with the use of
electronics and software for artistic design and educational projects, thus
contributing to the development of communities of cultural producers in this field.

Beginning: Interactivos?'09 – Cienca de Garaje
The socialization of technology and the accessibility of information available on the Web
make it increasingly easy for anyone to have the possibility of building a home laboratory.
Garage science is nothing new but home laboratories are connected now more than ever
before. There are home laboratories of all kinds: technology factories, chemistry or
biology labs, artists' studios, places to rehearse, etc.
These home laboratories have a worldwide scope via the Web, which serves as a space
for the dissemination of projects and the exchange of knowledge and techniques. These
online communities are accompanied by a proliferation of onsite events, such as
dorkbots, barcamps and hackmeetings, where people who only knew each other via the
Web can meet face to face and share their achievements and experiences.
The communities formed this way provide citizens with the capacity to develop scientific-
technical knowledge comparable to what is produced in the major laboratories. “Citizen
science” can serve to explore questions such as: How are the foods we eat made? What
possibilities exist in biogenetic research? What is the code that makes the machines we
use work? How are those machines manufactured? Based on this knowledge,
experimental and critical formulations and objects can be produced proposing new paths
and goals in these fields.
Interactivos?'09 aims to explore these practices, where art, science and technology meet.
We invite the participants to turn medialab into a garage laboratory where low-cost,
accessible materials are used to develop objects and installations that combine software,
hardware and biology. There's license to fail!

HackteriaLab 2011 – Comment on Day4
Nestling in the picturesque foothills of the Jura mountains, the
sleepy village and monastery of Romanmotier is witnessing the
combined weirdness of about 30 artists, hackers, scientists and
others that refuse to be classified. Across three large workspaces
on two floors people are building magnetic stirrers from computer
fans, PCR machines from hairdryers, XY plotters from computer
hard drives, microscopes from webcameras, bat detectors, and
more. In the garden PCBs are etched that will become microbial
theremins or amplifiers, others carve wooden cases for solar
powered data loggers and further out by the waterfall a hydrophonic
AV performance is slowly taking shape. In every corner are
workshops, discussions and presentations as people continually
inform, motivate and inspire each other. A rolling program of
impromptu skills exchanges complements the spontaneous
occurrences that are a feature of the lab.
