'''Crowdsourced Bokashi Starters and Recipes''' 

Fermented composting "Bokashi"
According to an article of bangordailynews.com [https://bangordailynews.com/2016/10/05/homestead/fermented-compost-means-more-convenience-fewer-bad-smells/] ““Bokashi”, a Japanese term meaning “fermented organic matter,” is an anaerobic fermentation process…, with its first stage fermenting or pickling kitchen scraps in a bucket and the second stage burying the fermented scraps in dirt or an outside compost pile to finish the job. It’s possible to purchase commercial bokashi composting kits, which includes a special container with a built-in tap and rice bran inoculated with “EM-1,” or effective microbes inoculant, a blend of yeasts, bacteria and more that was developed by a Japanese scientist.”

I believe the blend organisms (the compost starter) can be obtained by foraging and crowdsourcing and can be shared like other starters, such as those for sourdoughs, kombucha, kefir, yoghurt and so on.

In this project, I would like to collect and develop Bokashi compost recipes, to forage, to cultivate and to disseminate some starters.

My name is I-Chen Lai, I am an artist and a gardener. I was majoring in landscape architecture in my undergraduate studies at Taiwan University, focusing on sustainable and participatory environment design. I continued my studies in the cross-disciplinary master’s programme “Art, Space and Nature” at the University of Edinburgh and I have been developing my artistic career ever since. With my art practice, I investigate how knowledge forms and transforms when it is delivered through different types of media and I explore its accessibility to a mixed audience from various backgrounds. Therefore, most of my projects are participative, and many of them are situated in public space.

Lecturer: [[Julian Chollet]] 

Credits: 6 [[ECTS]], 4 [[SWS]] 

Dates:
04.11. – 08.11.2019 (10:00 – 17:00) 
''Every day from 10-12 coffee discussions - OPEN for EVERYONE (Room 204)''
Venue: [[Marienstraße 7b]], [[GMU:DIY BioLab|DIY BioLab]] (Room 202) 

 

==THIS IS THE WIKI FOR THE COURSE IN WS 2019==

==Syllabus==
Our air, soil and water as well as all plants and animals contain complex ecosystems.

This course will introduce you to various creatures colonizing the ground beneath our feet and give you the opportunity to experience methodologies and experimental strategies that are used in the natural sciences. While working in the DIY BioLab (Chair of Media Environments) you will learn how to think like a microbiologist and what it means to do scientific research. Educational objectives include literature research, experiment design, result documentation, discussion and scientific writing.

The module will be structured in a flexible way, tailored to the needs of the participants and includes lectures as well as practical work in the laboratory. Attendance during the 5 days of the course, as well as the delivery of detailed project documentation (paper, artwork, etc.) until the end of the semester is required.

The 5 day intensive course is integrated into the wider concept of the project module [[GMU:MfA_Masterproject_Soil–Humus–Earth|Soil-Humus-Earth]] (Prof. Ursula Damm) as well as the module [[GMU:Raised_Beds_and_Pets|Raised Beds and Pets]] (Mindaugas Gapsevicius).

===What is life? / What is humus?===

"There are over a 100 definitions for 'life' and all are wrong" 
http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20170101-there-are-over-100-definitions-for-life-and-all-are-wrong

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life#Definitions 
Since there is no unequivocal definition of life, most current definitions in biology are descriptive. Life is considered a characteristic of something that preserves, furthers or reinforces its existence in the given environment. This characteristic exhibits all or most of the following traits:
Homeostasis
Organization
Metabolism
Growth
Adaptation
Response to stimuli
Reproduction

===Organism===
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organism 
In biology, an organism (from Greek: ὀργανισμός, organismos) is any individual entity that exhibits the properties of life. It is a synonym for "life form".

===Microorganism===
Living beings that are too small to be seen with the (human) eye.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microorganism 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_interactions_with_microbes

The possible existence of unseen microbial life was suspected from ancient times, such as in Jain scriptures from 6th century BC India and the 1st century BC book On Agriculture by Marcus Terentius Varro. Microbiology, the scientific study of microorganisms, began with their observation under the microscope in the 1670s by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek.
