(Art)ScienceBLR

(Art)ScienceBLR is a public laboratory at the Srishti School of Art,Design and Technology for artists and designers to engage with scientific practices.We look at the artistic, social and political implications of technologies from computing to biotechnologies. Our work exists at the intersection of art-science and pedagogy, creating spaces of dialogue and interaction between artists, designers and scientists. Since our inception in 2009 we have focused on using DIY techniques to build low-cost laboratory equipment, so as to offer more accessible forms of engagement with the life-sciences.We also run a community electronics and BioLab which encourages students and the community to make/hack and prototype. .

Biodesign:State of Our Environment

An introductory course to electronics offred at Srishti. Students engaged with basic electronic components to make simple noise synths and amps.

Ecstatic Electronics

This workshop will be conducted by the ArtScienceBLR at the Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology. In this workshop, we will look at different ways of gathering and disseminating information about pollutants in water. We will build devices to test for water quality,design maps and conceptualize ways of visualizing this data. We will also collect stories about water sources and water sheds. This workshop is ideal for students interested in Visual communication,Film, product design and those interested in environmental activism.
