Circuit and Skin
Topic: Drugs and Needles
Dates: August 21–23
Welcome to Circuit & Skin, a weekend workshop intensive designed for practitioners, biohackers, and body modification enthusiasts exploring advanced technical workflows, sterile mechanics, and structural anatomy. This is a stand alone event and all are invited (up to capacity). Part of our focus is on providing rigorous foundational training with hands-on practice for students in the Foundations of Human Augmentation class in a controlled, professional environment. This summit focuses entirely on safe needle work and the impact of various drugs, prescription and illicit, on our biohacking and body art practices.
Lab materials are expensive. If you don't donate a bit, it may limit how much you'll be able to perform hands on. But feel free to join.
