From the Midnight Mushroom Music archives to the Mycorrhizal Rhythm Machine to fungi controlled VR experiences Tosca Terán and Andrei Gravelle construct soundscapes and installations involving biodata-sonification of fungi; drawing awareness to the destruction of our oceans, breathable air, and shared environment. How even the very act of observing a thing, changes that thing forever. Tosca is an interdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of art and ecology. She started collaborating artistically with Algae, Physarum polycephalum, and Mycelium over a decade back, translating biodata from non-human organisms into music and dragged Andrei along for the ride into the mycelium network.
