I want to collect knowledge in any possible way, wich is why i have been looking around for interested people to do collaborations with. I found Guus, a guy who works at Makerversity, a fab lab close to Mediamatic. He has access to multiple 3D printers, i would like to try to grow materials in 3D printed molds with him. We are having a meeting later today to discuss possibilities and show eachother our workplaces.
Kyliaen Rijsenburg, a friend of mine, is studying biology at the University of Wageningen. He is coming to the clean lab on friday 22 September to share some basic lab knowledge with me, like how to work sterile. He is very interested in mycelium materials aswell, so we might end up doing some research together.
During the second week of my internship i gave a few tours of the Clean Lab to students from The Netherlands and Denmark. I used the same setup as we used for the Open-Lab weekend to give a quick overview of the growing process. We had about 5 groups. I liked to tell other (product design) students what im doing. By doing this i realized that i prefer doing the talks in english rather then Dutch. I noticed that i like talking in English a lot more then before i started at Mediamatic.
Stay tuned for an update on my researchplan!
