Mycelium Garden

This project aims to take into account the singularity of a mycelium network in a mode of interaction with humans that is based on listening and attention. We are building a setup for the development of sensitive interactions with the mycelium, an organism that facilitates symbioses, through an interpretation of the specificity of its electrical expressions connected to our human musical world. To build this interaction we will develop AI models to map the behavior of the mycelium, co-compose sounds with the recorded and classified electrical variations and finally build an interspecific and sensitive relationship. This model will attempt to retain the dimension of otherness in sensory interaction. It will share an experimental process that will allow us to enter into a relationship with a non-human organism, to observe its behavior and to adjust our behavior in interaction with it. Thus questioning the notions of intelligence and adaptation in a three-agent human/AI/Mycelium compositional process. What would be the mycelium's intelligence compared to that of the human musician and that of the artificial intelligence: what do we mean by this? This installation addresses the importance of recognizing the otherness of non-human beings in the ecological project of caring for the living. ; Ce projet vise à prendre en compte la singularité d'un réseau de mycélium dans un mode d'interaction avec l'humain qui se fonde sur l'écoute et l'attention. Nous construisons un dispositif pour le développement d'interactions sensibles avec le mycélium, organisme facilitant les symbioses, par une interprétation de la spécificité de ses expressions électriques connectées à notre monde musical humain. Pour construire cette interaction, nous utiliserons des algorithmes de Machine Learning pour cartographier le comportement du mycélium, co-composer des sons à partir des variations électriques enregistrées et classées. Dans un deuxième temps et afin de construire une relation interspécifique et sensible avec le mycélium nous ...
