Exhibition
Fungi are organisms that have an enormous cultural potential we are only just starting to discover. Some people even claim that they will help humanity save the world. We explore the use of fungi as a source of new biodegradable materials that can replace many synthetics during the course of the 21st century. Besides material potential, these organisms also play an important role in our food systems, as well as having great symbolical value. That's why we like to work with them on many levels.
At the Myco Design Lab Exposition you can see the tangible results of this research for yourself, using fungal mycelium in many different forms and shapes, exploring possible future applications. By using a set of displays we present the ongoing research and experimental processes of the current open call participants, and invite further creative actors to take active part in the development of new alternatives and related applications.
