Exploring the edge of design and biology with Arduino: inside the “Parasites and Robotics” workshop
This summer in Berlin, a group of artists, designers, and curious minds gathered around a creative question: What can parasites teach us about robotics? Led by Salvador Marino, a transdisciplinary artist with a PhD in biology, the workshop “Parasites and Robotics” invited participants to explore the intersection of biology, sci-fi, and open-source hardware – all powered by the Arduino platform. Over five days of hands-on experimentation, attendees imagined and prototyped robotic bodies inspired by the strange and brilliant adaptations...
