Résumé

A temporary co-existence between reishi mushrooms and a custom-made robotic system.

ZOE is a temporary co-existence between reishi mushrooms and a custom-made robotic system. Noor Stenfert Kroese and Amir Bastan explore with ZOE the possibilities of internal communication between a robotic system and reishi. Within this seeming paradox between nature and technology, an ecosystem occurs that cares for and affects each other through sensing technologies.

Our future can not be one where technology is in opposition to or a destruction of the natural environment. Without claiming that we know what nature wants or needs. ZOE creates a possibility of unknowns coming together. It continues onto the research of the interaction and unknown communication within fungal mycelia networks. To this day, they do not know what this communication entails. It is the curiosity of what happens when we do not assume the outcome or interpret it through thinking but give it space to be with and experience it.

ZOE collects data through sensors in the environment and the mycelium of the reishi and through observation with cameras. It uses this data to create the internal communication between the reishi and the robotic system. The reishi and their behaviour defined what the robotic system and the robotic system influenenced the shape of the light-sensitive reishi. Over time this created a reflection in the shape of the fruiting bodies creating a reflection of the situation in their ecosystem.

The data is used in the space to create a sensory experience to explore this unknown communication through a live stream,realtime data visualisations and data-carpets. The data -carpets are created from the daily collected data from reishi in relation to their environment to see if we could experience any correlation between them. These tactile data visualisations explore the outcome and the unknown communication going on in this temporary co-existence. Are we able to tune in on these different rhythms of all of the parts involved, and what are we in a space that is with but not about us?

Produced by Productiehuis Theater Rotterdam ( ACT : Art, Climate & Transition ) in coproduction with Creative Robotics, KUKA, Fashion and Robotics. and Mushroom Research Center Austria.

ZOE is part of ACT: Art, Climate, Transition, a European cooperation project on ecology, climate change and social transition. In an era of climate breakdown, pandemics, mass extinction and growing inequalities, we join our forces in a project on hope: connecting broad perspectives with specific, localised possibilities, ones that invite or demand that we ACT.

Camera: Huub Laurens
