BIOTALK
Yet another biotalk: Printing Algae, Fungi and Contaminations is taking place tonight. This time it’s all about fashion, textile and printing! Studio Blond&Bieber will tell us about Algaemy, an analogue textile printer which does not require additional energy or material apart from manpower and the micro-algae itself; Tessa Kuipers will talk about how she encourages using fungi natural properties for a design purpose; Tamara Hoogeweegen will introduce us to Bacterial Patterns, a project that transfers colors and patterns from bacteria on to textiles; Nienke Hoogvliet will lead us to look into the continuation of SEA ME, transforming salmon skins into a leather fabric. All sounds fantastic, see you there!

BEER WORKSHOP AGAIN
Beer workshop is taking place again this Saturday. This time they would try to incorporate the process with with mycelium growing, and see if the two can happen at the same time. Good luck!
Have a good week!
