Micro Orchestrism challenges creative expression by positioning fermenting yeast as a musical collaborator. Visitors witness sake fermentation, where microbial breathing patterns generate real-time soundscapes alongside human compositions with natural instruments. This installation questions anthropocentric creativity by revealing microscopic activity often invisible to us. Drawing from brewing practices, the project exposes negotiations between human intention and microbial processes.
