Symphony of Symbiosis

Over 75 percent of the world’s soils are degraded — we need to take radical steps to reverse the trend and restore biodiversity. Symphony of Symbiosis uncovers the bond between humans, sound and mycelium. This project invites visitors to explore how sound frequencies affect mycelium and how it responds to electrical charges emitted by living beings. By emitting charges that positively affect mushrooms and mycelial networks below the ground, they help heal our soil and improve our ecosystem.
