How does it work?

Every living organism produces its own electrostatic field.

The fungus is using small electrical signals to send messages to its family around the forest. Such as network can expand for kilometers in the wild. These signals are meant to warn for predators, or in our case, "feel" the presence of your hand.

 

The fungus is aware of your presence and can detect you, just Like our skin would "feel" it to be touched. 

​

We are showing what's happening inside the fungus by measuring the live electrical activity in the fungus using electrodes, and from there, the internal electrical network is reconstructed. This gives us a more profound understanding of the vast complexity happening within the fungus. 

 

What you see

What we see on the screen is a real-live representation of the communication network (myecelium) happening within the fungus, and the influence we have on this delicate ecosystem simply by touching it. 

​

What you hear

We hear an artistic interpretation ​based on the signal coming from the fungus, slowed down into the audible spectrum. The sound of billions of connections activating. 

​

What you feel 

The deep connection between you and the fungus, a connection in the making since the beginning of life on earth.
