People doing strange things in their kitchens and bathrooms? ‚ "My home is my 
lab" movement? Global exchange of biotech kits and protocols, playing with 
genome and creating synthetic organisms for pets, using lab tools when cooking 
and transforming kitchens into biotech labs, these are just some of the faces of 
the global pop biotech. Artists, designers and scientists across the region 
translate scientific protocols into art manifests, create sculptures from 
tissues, help local communities with low cost and low tech protocols, do 
performances with DNA and installations from biotopes. We will meet to probe the 
territory between public, private and lab spaces and discuss various forms of 
biohacking, biopunk, bioart and molecular gastronomy. How relevant are these 
citizen science practices for innovation and how can they support local 
communities? What are some new design and art ideas related to biotechnologies? 
How can we involve critical design practices in bioethics discussions? How can 
these probes and experiments enable local communities? We will cook, brew, play 
and hack in order to discuss the potential of DIYbio and BioArt in the region.
