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 
Buzzing around 
Buzzing around 
Buzzing around 
Buzzing around
