Enter the synthetic biology supermarket, smell it, see it, touch it, feel it. Buy and change your life. Feel what synthetic biology could change in our every day life. | Enter the synthetic biology supermarket, smell it, see it, touch it, feel it. Buy and change your life.

For the iGEM the supermarket is based on a webshop and a vending machine as physical display. Based on that origin a “real” supermarket will be developed for the exhibition. | For the iGEM the supermarket is based on a webshop and a vending machine as physical display.

In the exhibition these products will be represented by touchable prototypes in 'natural' environment and/or with the use of images, videos and textual product descriptions. This shall stimulate engagement with synthetic biology by communicating its concepts and giving information about its methods and possibilities and by this confronting with the social questions that rise with that topic. | In the exhibition these products will be represented by touchable prototypes in 'natural' environment and/or with the use of images, videos and textual product descriptions.

Wait until the cricket has left the platform and the countermeassures alarm has gone off. Now the beast is on the run, the biosphere is in danger, a biological super-gau is immanent. Concentrate, feel the pressure - the world depends on you to win. Arm up and eliminate the thread. For once there is no time to dicuss, no air to be wasted - kill a few to save many. Be aware when playin in the dark, especially when playing in groups or crowded rooms. In every war there are casualties, friendly fire is not to be taken personal, injuries caused by collision with furniture, walls or team mates may leave scars and painfull wounds of honor. | Wait until the cricket has left the platform and the countermeassures alarm has gone off.
