I will discuss my current artistic practice working with seaweed-based bioplastics, exploring how this sustainable material shapes my creative process and conceptual focus. Additionally, I will share my goals, intentions, and planned research for my upcoming residency at BioClub Tokyo.

The mysterious “super mystery meat” or “myaku myaku” – that sci-fi dream featured in Doraemon – has now made its way into the news as the real thing: cultured meat. In twenty years' time, or when ordinary people start travelling to space, food production in space will become absolutely essential. Come and join our workshop and find out how to feed cultured meat with energy drinks!

Charlie Chen is marine scientist and divemaster from the UK, currently based in Sydney, Australia. Charlie has approached marine science fron the persepctive of an academic, a scientific divemaster, a publisher, and more recently as an investor in my current role interning with Ocean Impact Organisation, a non-profit organisation aiming to support impactful startups in the ocean industry.

Today's Weekly Meeting will be online ONLY, as the usual meeting space is in use for another event. Please come and chat/connect with BioClub! This is also your chance to informally introduce yourself and share about your projects, works and ideas!

Ecosystem science has long used population dynamics to link species interactions with system-level behavior. Synthetic biology now enables the design of engineered ecosystems, from microbial consortia to large-scale habitats, employing genetically modified strains to test ecological principles and address applied challenges. We survey modeling approaches and experiments across three classes and scales: microcosms, closed ecospheres, and large-scale ecosystem interventions

Join us and explore ways to deepen our connection with and awareness of non-human species through moss. We will experiment with technical tools, as well as imagine how networks of terraria could provoke people to live in closer harmony to the biosphere. Through this process, we'll offer fresh perspectives on the relationship between nature, technology, and humanity.

Nirit will present some of her projects and research, and discuss how she uses experiential design and playful interactions to engage audiences with these themes. She will also give some insight into a workshop she'll conduct at BioClub on October 18th (Saturday).

Katie Potter is part of a care team for almost two hundred ambassador animals that help educate students in her city’s public school system. Join her to learn what goes into keeping pythons, raccoons, cockatoos, and more—and how the programs these creatures star in take kids from creeped-out to curious and empower a new generation of prairie conservation advocates.

This free workshop will explore biosonification—turning the hidden chemistry of living materials into sound. Using Arduino-based circuits, participants will make sound from tiny shifts in electrical conductivity between two electrodes which, when placed into fermenting matter detect how easily ions move through the material.

Embedded in the physical laws of our universe is a tendency towards greater entropy with time - disorder, dissipation, chaos. But what if entropy is not simply a march toward disorder, but an engine for new forms of order? Through an exploration of the artist's body of work, this talk considers how matter - whether mud, root, circuit, or cell - emerges and adapts in an entropic universe, and how those adaptations become the seeds of memory, myth, and technology.
