Dear DIYBiologists, biohackers, hobbyists, and citizen scientists,
We are Benjamin Welmond and Mary Tsang, a filmmaker and bio-artist, respectively, and graduates of Carnegie Mellon University. Together we are developing a documentary web-series on DIYBio and Art that uses biotechnology in its practices, with a greater goal of addressing public accessibility and literacy on Biology. We've been spending the last week contacting various artists, scientists, and writers that are influential in this growing community. We're inspired by the large activity of the DIYBio group, and would love to hear of any new projects and perspectives from around the United States and Canada.
Last March, we were fortunate to visit GenSpace in Brooklyn and gather footage of their Synthetic Biology class, as well as hear the perspectives of some of the co-founders. We will be using this footage for a Kickstarter video to fund our documentary-series. The web-series format allows this information to be as open and accessible to the public as possible. We're spending the next month developing an itinerary of people and places to visit, and it's important for us that this list has as much variety as possible. If you're interested, feel free to reply to this post or email us (diysect@gmail.com) about your exciting project and/or perspective. We would also love to hear any ideas or suggestions for point of discussion or interesting locations.
Looking forward to hearing your responses,
Benjamin Welmond and Mary Tsang
