I am currently developing a docu-web series on DIYBio and Bioart called DIYsect, and wanted to tell you my experience interviewing and researching these scientists and artists. Many of them identify as “biohackers,” not in the negative sense of a hacker, but as people who take things apart to understand them, and who believe in the decentralization of knowledge for the benefit of all. They spring up community biolabs and offer course to educate average citizens on basic biotech procedures that are under the advisory and supervision of trained scientists. Moreover, they even have an open, symbiotic relationship with the FBI. The FBI serve as the “ethical oversight,” and at the same time see value in the projects happening at these DIYBio labs. For example, Jalila Essaidi who founded Bioart Laboratories in Eindhoven is working on bullet-proof skin using spider silk.

Your concern is definitely warrented, and it’s great that your initiating a discuss on the ethical implications of manipulating life. I think more people should join the dialogue and realize that biology is becoming more and more accessible in our society.

Hi Katie –
Modern DIY science is frequently done in less public spaces, but the mentioned group OpenSNP is a good public example. Genspace in NYC is a public, DIY science lab (BSL 1) that conforms to all government safety standards. There are also quite a few art groups who have been doing BioArt/hacking for much longer than most folks have been thinking about it. Critical Art Ensemble is one of my favourites, as is Eduardo Kac.

These days, however, you don’t need much to be a DIY science but a bit of money and time spent learning, either in school or via the internet.

You give examples of historical experiments on self, but no modern examples. What about groups like Public Lab?
