Physical Computing II
Inspired by the subterranean mycorrhizal networks that enable communication within communities of plants and trees, Fungus Among Us playfully explores how we can make visible the hidden, subsurface links that connect us when we’re apart. By looking at the symbiotic relationship between fungi and plants, we might learn more about the symbiotic relationships we share with each other, how we build connections, and the way that our roots interweave to create new meanings for our interactions.
Stars of Fate is an interactive generative art experience that visualizes the lifecycle of connections, their bloom and demise. As a traverser of fate, one uses the twirling and swiveling of their physical interface to guide their trail among the stars, all the while making and breaking connections with fellow traversers.
