Josiah Zayner and Chicks on Speed talk biohacking and Do-It-Yourself DNA

Jo Zayner is a biohacker, artist, and scientist best known for their self-experimentation and work making hands-on genetic engineering accessible to a lay audience, including CRISPR. josiahzayner.com/  

Chicks on Speed is a feminist music and fine art ensemble, formed in Munich in 1997, when members Australian Alex Murray-Leslie and American Melissa Logan met at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts. http://www.chicksonspeed.com/

Where’s the bass? Doing the science

Cut and add, you’ve got the sequence

Making it happen

Do you want to jam, with my genes?



Give me some of your genetic engineering

Your kitchen garage time machine

Take me to see a dragon

Everybody has a device to push the button



Bottom up, top down

Lifloning logistics

Baby genes in editing

Change our genes, make a choice

Self-injected, what’s the real

Believe in who, what’s the wrong in the world



Science isn’t done a lab coat

Seeing through your twisted CRISPR

Science isn’t done a lab coat



Empty hallways what’s going on

Artificial balance hey

Hey love I could lose

Body autonomy



Me and you just we two point of view

What’s the truth?



Make me faith

Make me real

Change modify



Men on estrogen

Therapy it’s popular

I was not born this way

Didn’t like my DNA

You said my genes were lame

Were so uncool and my parents were to blame



If only, science made me cooler

Maybe some talent and a photogenic bone structure

Dear science, save me from this gene pool

It’s mediocre why does nature have to be so cruel?



What do you think about mosquitos?

What about repair kit?

What about the DNA?

What about the therapy?

What is natural?

Have the repair kit rather than the scalpel?

What about fixing the murals?

What about repair kit subsitutes for jail cells?



I’m starving mosquito flying around

Can’t locate dinner

Receptors are down

My target of desired of plasma can’t be found

A starving mosquito
