Symbiosis/\Dysbiosis: Sentience combines real-time fungal biodata streams with EEG data from Guests, creating an environment where participants perceive and interact with the microscopic connections formed within us, on us and around us.
Within the expanded reality installation, Nanotopia creates an evolving soundscape with living Mycelium that is directly connected to a custom synthesizer and bio-electrically connected to the virtual environment.
Through whimsical storytelling, live actors, and a live soundtrack featuring the star of the show, Ganoderma lucidum, this installation creates a dynamic, interactive environment. Participants are not mere spectators but active contributors to the intricate balance and potential discord within these relationships, reinforcing the notion that everything is connected.
