- an essential building block of a mushroom that makes up the complex mycelium.
The audiovisual installation inspired by the intricate mycelium structure found in mushrooms. Situated near the České údolí water reservoir, first part of this installation incorporates a meteorological sensor that continuously collects air quality data.
These data points are then transformed into real-time digital images and sounds, reflecting the current state of the environment and the data sent to the second part of installation in real time where they creating their digital presentation.
The visual aspect of the installation comprises three primary components.
Firstly, it showcases 3D scans of mushrooms taken in close proximity to the meteorological sensor's placement.
Additionally, a dynamic digital image of the mycelium evolves in response to the ever-changing meteorological conditions along the reservoir's shoreline.
Lastly, a central structure acts as a repository, meticulously storing all the collected data and visually capturing the location's historical progression. Comparable to the organic nature of real mushrooms, this structure adapts to its surroundings, assimilating particles, altering its appearance, and effectively recording external events within its memory.
By visually representing the intricate network of mycelium and translating air quality data into immersive visuals and sounds, this audiovisual installation invites contemplation on the delicate balance between natural ecosystems and our impact on them.
