On the other hand stands art. A form of expression that allows to criticize in a nonverbal way and that can encourage thinking processes. Art is a medium for social reflexion and offers the possibility to address the general public. | On the other hand stands art.

Exolab-Events
Lab work is interesting, exciting and thrilling. But sometimes everything goes wrong, the stocks haven’t been refilled and cells die without reason. In these situations we left the lab where it was and did something else, something fun, something … EXOLAB-EVENT!
Minigolf
The first and biggest sport competition we did was the mini-golf competition. Two groups, one goal. We divided the team into two groups and each group was mustered to win. In the beginning, both teams were alike. But Michi and Lisa ruled the game as they invented it. To the detriment of the others, the major player joined one group, so that their team won the match.
Despite the excellent playing skills of Michi and Lisa, Philipp was able to face his fear against course with the jump and mastered the course with only two strokes. This day we also discovered Max great ambition to sunglasses and the fact that every member of our team sees everywhere the CRISPR/Cas system. (There was one course looking like the tracrRNA!)
The iGEM Prom
A mild summer night in august. Slowly the sun goes down. And the Freiburg iGEM-Team?
Dressed up and titivated, the team stands around a buffet, champagne glass in the hand and waiting for it to begin. We were nervous, exited and jivey; like a combination of “High school Musical” and “Dirty Dancing”. The main questions of this evening were: “Am I able to dance?”, “Who is going to dance with me?”, “How many times will I step on other feet?”
This evening Michi, Natalie und Nadine coached the team to dance. We learned cha-cha-cha, slow waltz and disco fox. The dances were explained step by step, so that everybody was able to remember what he has to do. Girls and Boys were taught separately, because of special turnings and moves, performed by the girls.
The longer the evening, the smoother and more graceful our dance moves became.
The TU München iGEM Team in Freiburg
During summer time iGEM team München visited Freiburg several times to work in the lab of Prof. Dr. Reski at their Physcofilter-Project. Using the opportunity, we swapped ideas on our iGEM projects, sponsoring and human practices and organized a big barbecue.
Barbecue
Lab work isn't everything. Sometimes you have to have fun. This is why we organized a barbecue in front of our lab.
Video shoot
Our CRISPR song speaks for itself. But the right visual backup was needed.
The Art Project
The idea behind the body paint was to combine art and synthetic biology. At first sight these two categories seems to be pretty different, but on second sight we realized that they have more in comment then we thought.
Synthetic biology is based on artificial systems. Systems those are able to equip chassis with new features. These Features have been defined to resolve problems our society is dealing with. Weather environmental, medical or nutritional issues are concerned; the first step will be to recognize such a problem. You really have to deal with that issue before you can start finding a solution.
On the other hand stands art. A form of expression that allows to criticize in a nonverbal way and that can encourage thinking processes. Art is a medium for social reflexion and offers the possibility to address the general public.
The work in both fields requires creativity, technical skills and a lot of commitment!
