Living Instruments is a collaborative project between London-based musician Serge Vuille (under the umbrella of his project WeSpoke) and the DIY biology community of the Swiss-based community laboratory Hackuarium. It is a musical composition for a series of instruments that use yeast, moss, paramecia and other living organisms to generate music. By interacting with the organisms and recording the sounds, gas bubbles, pressure, and movements they generate, the artists can transform data into music, creating a live, semi-improvised musical piece.
Bio: As a former researcher and journalist, Luc Henry has a strong interest in discussing the impact of new technologies on society, in particular in the fields of biotechnology and health. He founded Hackuarium to provide a space where people learn by making, not just with pairs, but with people from a variety of background. When he is not advocating for more openness in Science, he's working on Living Instruments and other crazy projects.
