WORKSHOP : Hackteria: DIY Microscopes & BioHacks.
Saturday, July 28th from 12 – 5pm
Members of the Swiss Mechatronic Art Society are in town and will be stopping by Machine Project to present an introduction to biohacking, culminating in a hands on workshop for building a DIY microscope out of a simple webcam. Through an easy hack, every webcam can be turned into a useful digital microscope, allowing the magnified observation of life forms, analysis of biological motion and form, as well as audio-visual interpretations for aesthetic presentation.
