The Secret Art of Growing Mushrooms
In these workshops you will learn how to make your own straw-based substrate. We're going to infect the substrate with oyster mushroom spawn in our cleanroom. Instructor: Maurizio Montalti.
Transnatural Festival 2012
Transnatural, the festival, takes place from 7 September - 7 October 2012. The exhibition is on display at NEMO in Amsterdam. More information here. Through art, design and technology, new ways of harvesting food and energy are explored. New, autonomous systems and materials will be presented. This topic rises some questions, which will be answered during the festival: how can we decrease our dependability on large systems while remaining actively connected to each other?
Mediamatic is interested in how art and new technologies can help, or show us ways of organizing ourselves in a sustainable fashion. Therefore our projects form a nice contribution to the festival.
