Looking forward to share our recent experiences in hosting / coordinating a regional event, including a group fo remote researchers, local temporary hacklab with international guests, expeditions to other projects in the region and upcoming continuation of our collaborative research.

UROŠ intra-actions - ROŠA - Rural Open ScienceHardware + Art
See our notes, links, schedules and more on the hackteria wiki:
https://www.hackteria.org/wiki/UROS#URO.C5.A0_Temporary_Autonomous_Lab

We see this experience very much in the line of earlier discussion in the GOSH network, (see notes on GOSH nodes / GROLScH) , which we held already since summer 2017, that our community needs to find ways to support project developments, long term durational residencies and regional small scale gatherings / outreach promoting the vision of GOSH and more.

We had 15k € support from a Slovenian EU funded network konS -platform for investigative art and still have a few more months and 30% of the funds to continue over the coming months, hopefully leading to a regional gathering / symposium involving more people locally and globally coming spring.

Our collaborators came from various parts of the globe, @nanocastro , @gaudi , @squaresolid , @pin , @TAKE , @fran , @hortense , @miranda , and from the local hacklab @rob , @miha , @modri-brothers , @monika

We revisited a few existing projects in the GOSH and hackteria networks, shared with each other recent developments, improved designs and documentations and looked into the possible applications of those technologies in a more rural setting of permaculture, gardening, horti/agriculture, soil analysis, wine / beer fermenting and more.
Amongst others:

  • Hackteria’s DIY microscopes 2.0, New camera modules?
  • GlowScope aka 3d printable fluorescence microscope
  • RasPi cams vs webcams?
  • improved CO2 soil respiration chambers
  • new CO2 sensors (SCD41) and PCB for breakout board
  • soil microscopy booklet in English and Spanish
  • minor improvements to open fiber spectrometer
  • sharing recent developments on LAMP for GMO detection in food
  • improved fluorescence reader for LAMP
  • pee bateries
  • chicken research
  • ornamental fish farming integration
  • and as always… making synths and experimenting with noise music

Summarizing Discussion
We had a 1h moderated live discussion to summarize the Temporary Lab in Maribor. Partially in Slovenen and mostly in English, a little bit in Spanish.
See it here:

And yes, we got some really nice hats!
