This document provides an overview of various "NanoHacking" projects and experiments conducted by an organization called NanoŠmano. In 3 sentences: NanoŠmano explores converging life and technology at the nanoscale through do-it-yourself (DIY) projects like building low-cost microscopy tools, growing silver nanoparticles using fungi, and setting up nanotechnology labs in unconventional spaces like art galleries and gardens to promote open access to nanoscience. The document describes several of NanoŠmano's projects and experiments over multiple events and locations from 2010 to 2012, focusing on grassroots and open-source approaches to nanotechnology.

Šmall is Beautiful
“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It take
a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction.”

7. "…Beginning with the telescopes and microscopes of the Renaissance, tools
have played a critical role in advancing science and technology. Scientific
tools provide us with abilities to observe and understand nature."
New tools to „See“, or better: „Touch“ things
