Join the Bruixes in their erotic lab to experiment with soft electronics, bio-second skins and sensors to hack your pleasure and craft your uniquely personalized and alluring design!
During the workshop, participants will gain hands-on experience with soft electronics and sexual circuitry and experiment with growing biofabrics from algae and body fluids. Through bio-hacking practices and do-it-yourself technologies, we will speculate collectively on alternative and sustainable futures in the realm of intimate technologies, leading to the prototyping of unique wearable sensual devices. Participants will discover open-source fabrication techniques for the design of sexual technologies and imagine how biotechnologies and alternative materials can be used as a means to explore erotic pleasures. In the first part, we will delve into the process of growing biofabrics and second skins, biohacking and erotic self-exploration. In the second part, we will dive into the world of electronics, actuators and sensors and learn how to incorporate them into soft surfaces and bio-tissues to prototype the final wearable designs.
All
What to bring to your session? –can you (team etc) provide us a soldering iron? - Participants can bring their gadgets, electronics or textiles to integrate into their designs, along with their own sexual body fluids for those daring to experiment further.
Bruixes Lab is a nomadic lab where biohacking and witchcraft rituals are performed to
create speculative scenarios about intimacy, pleasure and to destigmatize taboos around sexuality. An interactive space where intimate biotechnology, kinky, transfeminist and DIY practices intertwine in symbiosis with biophilia and bodily fluids. Bruixes Lab are by Cristina Dezi and Giulia Tomasello.
