Just heard a @scifri episode about mycelial networ

Just heard a @scifri episode about mycelial networks. Almost all wild plants have their corresponding fungal networks!

I made a piece a couple of years ago dealing with this same topic.

Mycelial Meshing
2018, Interactive Installation (steel pipes, concrete, lighting, sensors, infrasound system), 4.8 x 5 x 6 meters (varible)

Work commissioned by and in the collection of UAE Unlimited which is an Abu Dhabi-based satellite platform founded by Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Bin Khalifa Al Nahyan

Exhibited for the first time in Ishara: Signs, Symbols, and Shared Languages; Concrete, Alserkal Avenue Arts District, Dubai, curated by Karim Sultan; senior curatorial advisor Laura Metzler

Statement
We are part of many interconnected networks—from friends and colleagues to the internet and the electrical grid. One action can ripple across these meshed networks changing whole ecosystems.
Of course, other species form networks as well. One of the more recent discoveries is the mycorrhiza network. This is a network of the mycelia of fungi that reach out and connect to the roots of plants of different species exchanging everything from information about invaders to food and water. Dying trees can pass on their nutrients to saplings, tomatoes can warn each other of aphids. Interestingly, fungi are not plants; their DNA is closer to animals than to plants. So, two groups, very far apart on the evolutionary tree, connect with each other in multitudes of ways.

Our human networks support or hinder our development in a variety of ways as well. Access to good education helps people find better jobs and better lives; clean drinking water is vital to health…
Using the materials of infrastructure—steel pipes, concrete, electrical cables—this work looks at these varied networks though the overlay of mycelial networks. Overall the work reacts to the audience, seemingly communicating about the visitor’s intrusion.

Beirut has been through a lot will make it through this new tragedy. Sending lots of love and hope to them.❤️❤️

We stayed next to the port when we visited, it looks like that whole area is badly damaged now. 🙁

It is really difficulty to capture the size, wonder, and beauty of #IguazuFalls. They are over 2.7km across and battle only Victoria for largest in the world (it depends on how you measure!) Check out the boats in 1 and 2 for scale!

The 3 photos are all different sections of the falls!

All of these are from the #Brazil side. So amazing!

"Place is a Sound" is my new commission for the exhibition "From Within" in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. It is 13x13x3 meters with an hour long 5.1 channel surround sound track (off in the videos). It contrasts a clean blank inflatable sphere group with sounds recorded all over the world.
Thanks to everyone who helped make this possible including the #ministryofculture , #hwadi and @helloinflatable also thanks to @admanbruce for the videos and photo! Final idea and design while in residence at #ShangyuanArtMuseum

Candomblé is a mostly Brazilian religion (around 2 million followers) that includes elements of several traditional African religions, Indigenous American religions as well as Catholicism. We witnessed part of Our Lady of Conceicao du Praia festival which includes offerings, singing and dancing. It is the same day as the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.

Originally I thought this was just Offerings for the Feast of Immaculate Conception. But I learned more!
