What you will do
In this workshop you will learn all about how to build a box that can for example function as a home for living critters like we do for pigeons at Mediamatic. By working together to create these small wooden boxes, you will not only learn to work with living materials such as mycelium, but you will also learn how to make space for "the other" in our daily lives: be it pigeons, fungi, spores, insects, etc. is not a masterclass in the art of understanding pigeons, but a space where Arne invites you to work together with the mycelium, decay and eachother.
Arne will introduce you to the 11 towers already built and help you to make your own. This workshop is a space for collaboration and exploration around everything to do with building with living materials and the inevitability of decay.
Arne Hendriks
Arne Hendriks is an artist and researcher on human ecology. He believes we should be more generous towards ourselves in allowing radical new ideas and practices to re-define our relationship with the planet. In his practice, he focusses on the process instead of a result. By patiently letting the findings of his research be his guide, he allows himself to constantly shift views and perspectives and discover new realities within his topic.
