Sounds of Growth was a project developed at the International Center for Research and Education in Innovative and Creative Technologies in Bucharest, Romania, with an inter-disciplinary group of designers and musicians.
Concept: Climate change is, in part, exacerbated by our distance from other forms of nature. Sounds of Growth invites audience members to reconsider their relationship to other forms of life through a musical composition informed by mycelium growth. Mycelium is a root-like structure of a fungus.
Exhibited at:
tutors: Anca Horvath, Grigore Burloiu, Adrian Mitișor
students:
We developed musical pieces > extracted spectograms (visual information from the sounds) > used those spectograms to inform 3D models that we CNC milled > we filled those models with mycelium, and placed humidity and temperature sensors inside these objects > the initial musical composition was then altered to change according to sensor data.
