As a transhackfeminist performer and researcher I have a strong inclination towards research and experimentation processes with collective and free technologies.
In the last years after my graduation from Fine Arts College, I have been developing an interest in DIY-DIWO technologies, hacking and hardware electronics, in a context of learning by doing in a transhackfeminist electronics open laboratory (Pechblenda) that we make grow up at Calafou, a free technologies project based in ecology and open source ideals. Calafou is the place where different personalities whose trajectories are linked to collectives dealing with trans-gender, transhackfeminist, activist research, technological sovereignty, ecological issues, audiovisual production, transformation of spaces and performances. As member that was living there for the last four years I was involved in the day live developments and co-organizing the majority of events around free and open technology there; you can see bellow the different task or implications on it.
My active participation in the lab Pechblenda and Transnoise, besides my social ideals and my work as a noise performance and workshopologist, has taken me to many spaces and contexts, specially to the point of starting to collaborate in Hackteria, a Biohacking network. Open up again the opportunity to give up workshops as a facilitator all around the world always putting the focus on spread the knowledge and share experience over a transfeminism horizontal perspective.
The last two years, after bio and transhackfeminist values we have been designing and fabricating the devices for a Mobile Lab that is used for autonomous gynecology practices and investigation. As my knowledge in electronics is based on open source and DIY, the devices included in the laboratory are portable replications of a microscope, a speculum done with a 3D printer, an incubator, PCR, centrifuge …
Since September 2012 I collaborate with the international network of biohacking Hackteria and I currently developing a line of hardware (HardGlam) for Gynepunk project and also working as a collaborator for the Strogens project with Mary Maggic, Byron Rich and Gaia Leandra.
During the last year we were collaborating and making grow this project at Barcelona Prototyp_ome | Drupal that comes from the interaction of Pechblenda and Hackteria lab
