The document discusses the open source biological art movement Hackteria. It provides examples of Hackteria projects such as DIY biology lab equipment and citizen science projects. Hackteria promotes sharing knowledge to demystify science and enable more people to engage with biology through art and hacker spaces. The document outlines how artists, designers, and citizens can start biology labs and art-science collaborations through open source methods.

Yashas Shetty, Srishti – Bangalore
Why should artists/designers/outsiders get involved
with Synth­Bio(in particular) and Sci­Tech(in General)
"There is the obvious reasons that all outsiders bring in unique
perspectives to any form of thinking­the artist/hacker has the
courage to ask "stupid questions" which may not turn out to be
stupid at all. the other is that the hacker/artist/designer may
also come from spaces in which the technology is as important
as the different contexts that it exists in ­cultural/social/political
which because a scientist(at least the way in which most of
them are trained) may not be aware of or not be interested in."

POTATO STARCH MEDIUM:
Slice potatoes and boil them in 1 L of water for 1
h; drain the liquid through a sieve and gauze to
get rid of the potatoes; add 10g of sugar and 13g
of agar; stir; pour liquid in glass container, add
enough water to the pressure cooker to cover
the bottom (0,5 cm); heat under pressure for 20
min; let steam out; pour medium into plates
(0,25 cm); let set for at least 4 hours.
MAKING THE JEWELRY:
For the living bacterial jewelry press a finger
gently onto the plate, seal Petri dish with hot­
glue gun and add string, a ring or a broche
needle. Colonies will appear in a day or two, at
first bacterial cultures, as the culture ages
filamentous fungi will overgrow.
