Mycelia at Venice VR Expanded

Start Time: 22:00 CEST Date: 6th September How to Attend: Accredited guests join our event host HMD Compatibility: PC only Venue: VRChat: Mycelia performance space The original concept: connect living mycelium biodata into a VR experience. The Mycelium* reacts sonically and visually within this audio-reactive world to the virtual human presence. Nanotopia’s bio-sonification modules translate micro-fluctuations in conductivity to MIDI, enabling them to send fungi energy through their synthesizers, creating a multi-species musical entanglement. During Mycelia, MetaVerse Artist ROOT performs an interpretive dance accompanied by Particle dancers; colleagues from the MVSA. Visitors into Mycelia are encouraged to explore, harvest Amanita, and go for a swim while listening to fungi frequencies and experiencing the dance. *Mycelium is the vegetative part of a fungus or fungus-like bacterial colony. The performance will be followed by a Q&A with Nanotopia How to
