It includes my thoughts on biohacking as well as coverage of the Biohacker Meetup at SXSW. Present on the SXSW panel are (left to right) myself, Josiah Zayner, Jason Bobe, and Jeffery Barrick. The footage of c.elegans was shot in Emalick Njie’s “Mutant Worms” Genspace workshop. In addition to that, you can see a sneak peek of the work I’m doing with Natalie Kuldell and her collection of teachable labs, Biobuilder, and of course work from CUT/PASTE/GROW with the ever amazing Wythe and Dan.

The mini-doc was created by infinitely talented Dutch-American documentary team Jongsma + O’Neill. MINIMUM VIABLE PRODUCT is an investigative series about creative technologists, and was commissioned by Dutch crowdsourced news site De Correspondent.

DIYsect focuses on DIY Biology and the Biology-Art intersection. This summer, we’re traveling across North America and Europe to film and interview biohackers, bioartists, scientists, writers, and curators that are involved with citizen biology. We want to raise questions and discuss the way biotechnology is changing our society. What are its political, social, and even philosophical implications? What happens when manipulating life becomes as simple as writing a line of code? And more importantly, what does this mean for average citizens and their future?
