Mycelium is an immersive audiovisual installation that explores fungal networks as models of decentralized intelligence and ecological interdependence. Structured in four visual chapters - mycelial expansion, common mycorrhizal networks, resource exchange, and sporulation - the work translates biological processes into speculative visual environments.
Drawing from scientific research on fungal ecosystems, the installation renders normally invisible dynamics of growth, communication, and distribution into immersive digital landscapes. Through AI-generated imagery and carefully constructed montage, the piece evokes the complex infrastructures that sustain life beneath the surface of terrestrial ecosystems.
Rather than presenting fungi merely as biological subjects, Mycelium approaches them as conceptual frameworks for thinking about alternative forms of organization: systems without a center, networks that respond collectively, and modes of survival based on exchange and reciprocity.
Moving between scientific visualization and biomorphic abstraction, the work invites viewers to inhabit a perspective in which intelligence emerges not from control or hierarchy, but from distributed relations within living networks.
