Microbial Revolt is a workshop designed for biodesigners and biologists to redesign their laboratory tools into tools that support the revolt of the organisms they work with. Inspired by Chindogu, a anti-consumerist design movement from the 90s in Japan that creates useless objects, Microbial Revolt encourages its participants to render their lab tools useless for humans but supportive of the resistance of the organisms. It poses the question of: What if we view organism accidents, failures and contaminations as sites of negotiation for better collaborations or coexistence instead of problems to be silenced or resolved? What if we see frictions as generative sites of more-than-human ethical inqiuries?
