## Biononymous_Biogenfutur Protocol to generate Eraser and Replacer Sprays # Biononymous_Biogenfutur Protocol to generate Eraser and Replacer Sprays
We generally tend to believe that any type of DNA testing requires hyper-sophisticated technological devices, as well as complex knowledge that requires specific and, in most cases, academic training. This workshop aims to replicate an open protocol to learn how to do a DNA extraction from your cheeks cells, as well as to generate two sprays that, on the one hand, can erase traces of DNA and on the other can replace the traces of DNA left by an individual with a mixture of many DNAs, which prevents an identification process based on a DNA test. Why is that? Because when we talk about surveillance, we are very aware of certain risks and control strategies based on big data or meta data, but generally we are not so aware of the importance of bio data and control techniques that can be implemented with biological data.

Proposal: to learn how to extract a DNA sample in a simple way, losing the fear related to the specificity of biotechnologies. Development of two tools for bioanonymity: DNA eraser spray / DNA replacer spray.

Once the activity has been carried out, we can dedicate time for collective debate/reflection (in case the activity was done in a group) on which issues, concerns, interests and/or surprises we found in relation to bio-surveillance. Are there any care tactics that we can articulate/implement? Or, for example, how do we consider the impact of affection (care) when we share information, resources, tools and take care of each other?
