gut microbiota (Gut flora) is the complex community of microorganisms that live in the digestive tracts of humans and other animals.

skin microbiota are the microorganisms which reside on the skin.

Our microbes influence our health, weight and well-being. Unlike genetic factors that influence the same things, but are constant and cannot be changed, we can change and manipulate our microbiome.

Microbiome = the genes and genomes of the microbiota, as well as the products of the microbiota and the host environment.

PooperLeaks is a public database of personal health records gathered at the Hackteria BYOP (Bring Your Own Poop) LAB. The philosophy of BYOP embraces an open sharing of everything: share your microbes, share your biodata, share your shit - for the eternal wellness of your

guts, science, and society.

Your privacy is not our top priority. We don't give a shit about that. We simply collect your personal data and archive it in

the publicly accessible PooperLeaks database. Everybody can see your data, play with it, and do all kinds of shit with

it.

MethodologyFor six weeks, the BYOP scientists followed different diets and skin treatments to affect their gut and skin microbiota. After the six weeks period, they collected their biosamples (poop and facial skin) and analyzed the biological materials by using the custom-made SmartShit™ and Skinalyzza™ technology.

The scientists also conducted an extensive tasting probe to identify their individual taste preferences of different foods and beverages.

Based on the research outcomes (poop and skin test results compared with different taste preferences) they prototyped three skin and gut microbiota profiles that show the possible impacts of various diets and skin treatments on human health.

The BYOP LAB audience is invited to provide their own biological sample to be analyzed right on the spot. The results are compared with the microbiota profiles developed within the BYOP research.

Scientist #1: Dusjagr Male, 40-ish, living in cold Swiss mountain wilderness and everywhere else Diet: loads of cheese, some burgers recently, overall very rich on coconuts Skin: never used sunscreen in his entire life; likes to get exposed to sun very often

Scientist #2: I-Chern Female, 30-ish, Asian living in humid tropical island Diet: eating both meat and vegetable, very rich on corn, drinks horse milk for breakfast Skin: doesn’t use any detergents (soap, shampoo) to clean her surface

Scientist #3: Materie Female, 30-ish, Slavic origin Diet: rich in fermented foods and beverages, way too much carrot in diet Skin: has a pink tattoo shaped as a sauce and various shapes of non-tattooed red eczema

Discovered gut microbiota profiles (according to 3 gut enterotypes)*

*An enterotype is a classification of living organisms based on its bacteriological ecosystem in the gut microbiome.

3 enteroTypes were so far discovered by traditional science : type 1. Bacteroides / type 2. Ruminococcus / type 3. Prevotella (see: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3904694/)

Type 1. Sunburn-Dermatitis (Dusjagr) If you’re happy with your test results, don’t use any sunscreen*

Type 2. Hippie-Vulgaris (I-chern) If you’re happy with your results, don’t use any soap or shampoo*

Type 3. Atopic-Geometris (Materie) If you’re happy with your results, do irritate your skin as much as you can**

*If you’re not happy with your results, do use that shit ** If you’re not happy with your results, stop scratching yourself

Discovered skin microbiota profiles

Hackteria BYOP LABThe BYOP lab serves as a platform to address biopolitical issues around the current advancement of DTC (Direct to Consumer) genomic and microbiomic services*, and the rising popularity of online health data sharing.

The health data sharing practices are often seen as a way to improve individuals' personal health and self-awareness, and an important leap towards the democratization of expert health knowledge and advancement of citizen science.

At the same time, the volume of personal health data and medical records made available through the data sharing services raises some important questions about data ownership and privacy.

It remains rather unclear who really “owns” most of the health data shared online: Is it the biological “creator” of this data, the providers of data sharing services, the healthcare authorities?

Rather than delivering any solutions or answers to these questions, the BYOP LAB scientists shamelessly steal personal biological data of all the lab's visitors and store them in the private BYOP archive. Personal profile of each visitor is available in the PooperLeaks database that can be accessed by anyone. Along with the BYOP motto: "We don't give a shit about your privacy. Business as usual.", we recommend all the deceived visitors to think and act.
