POLYGENIK is a collective of projects at the intersection of biology, technology, art, and community. We're not a company, not a studio, not a lab — we're the connective tissue between all of them.
Every project in the collective is born from the same conviction: that the most interesting things happen when you stop asking for permission and start building across boundaries. From biopunk fashion grown from mycelium to secret rooftop bars serving ultrasonic-aged cocktails, from living computational art to biological civil liberties advocacy — the thread that connects them all is a refusal to stay in one lane.
Polygenik is built by people who can't pick a lane. Biologists who make music. Engineers who throw parties. Artists who read papers. If that sounds like you, keep scrolling.
The projects in Polygenik aren't random. They're expressions of the same worldview: that biology is technology, that art is research, that community is infrastructure, and that the most powerful innovations come from refusing to separate these domains. The interconnection is the brand.
We're not hiring. We're looking for co-conspirators. People who build things on the edges of disciplines, who think biology is the next computing platform, who have a project that doesn't fit into any existing category.
Whether you're a synthetic biologist with a fashion obsession, a bartender who thinks about fermentation kinetics, or an engineer who makes music with living organisms — there might be a world inside Polygenik where you belong.
Tell us who you are and what you'd build if you had no constraints.
