bio.display

With the help of Margarita Kopniczky of Imperial College London, students from EngAme and theAKG high-school made some happy drawings with Photobacterium Phosphoreum in our small lab. See both the studends and the bacteria smile.

The bio.display project is back! A simple collection of fluorescent bacteria was exhibited at Design Terminal Budapest as part of Design Week Budapest 2013, with the subtitle ‘crossovers’. We’re also featured at the arts thread blog – yay!

Tomorrow, I’ll hold a presentation on bio.display at the Iwasaki Lab of the Center for Advanced Biomedical Sciences at Waseda University in Tokyo, at 2:30pm local time. See Iwasaki Sensei’s page on what he’s mostly up to.

I’ll be holding a presentation about bio.display at the Budapet FabLab, during the Science Night event held in Budapest, Hungary.

Today I’ll hold a presentation about bio.display at the blinkBL_NK #9 event in Singapore, at Speakeasy, starting 7pm. Other presenters include Denisa Kera, Tim Merritt and Benjamin Joffe.

Last weekend I held a short presentation about the bio.display project at the ART+COMMUNICATION 2009: ENERGY conference in Riga, Latvia, organized by RIXC. It was an interesting setting, as bio.display is not directly related to energy consumption.

It was also interesting to see Riga again – last time I was here I was at ART+COMMUNICATION 4, in 2000…

Yesterday I had the privilege to present bio.display at the Budapest New Technology Meetup. Here’s the video – albeit in Hungarian:

Yesterday I held a short presentation at the Ars Electronica Festival about the bio.display project, as part of the New Views of Humankind panel, at the SkyLoft. Other presenters were Manuel Selg from the Ars Electronica BioLab and Reinhard Nestelbacher from DNA Consult, who also works with the Ars Electronica Center.

bio.display is going to be featured at the Ars Electronica Center FutreLab in Linz, Austria this week, as part of the Ars Electronica Festival. The kind people at the FutureLab BioLab had be so kind to let me use their lab – they also grew the bacteria beforehand, and are providing material and equipment to recreate the project here. I’ll have a short presentation on the project at the Pixelspaces 2009 conference here, Sunday afternoon.
