About the workshop:

What does molecular gastronomy and biofabrication have in common and what do these techniques have to do with the fabrication of soft robots and inflatable wearable structures?

In this workshop we will investigate the common materials and techniques of molecular gastronomy and biofabrication as we bring them together for the fabrication of soft bio robots and inflatables. We will be exploring and working with natural polymers through cooking up, casting, heat sealing and fusing, curing and inflating our biomaterials.

Participants can expect to experiment with DIY and DIWO/DIT biofabrication techniques as we will be co-crafting some of our own alginate and gelatine bioplastics and investigating their material properties as wearable and technical textile pieces.

Workshop language: English
Door Policy: FLIT only
Free of charge limited to 10 participants
