Hackerspaces, DIYbio & Food Hacking: Nomadic citizen participation in science
9th April 2012, 6.00pm
Abstract:
“Street finds its own uses for Things, Scientific Protocols, and Facts”
Citizen Science initiatives and projects (DIYbio), community labs (Hackerspaces), digital fabrication studios (Fablabs), and other Open Source initiatives (OSHW), present an alternative approach to innovation and research outside the official walls of academia and industry.I will present an extreme case of such mobile and nomadic kitchen-lab, which was recently tested on the streets of Yogyakarta (Indonesia) as a model for future science/society interactions. The mobile push carts, angkringans and similar food trucks, omnipresent on the streets of Indonesia, offer an ideal model for citizen participation in science.
