Mind the Fungi is a collaboration between the TU Berlin Institute
for Biotechnology and Art Laboratory Berlin, combining scientific
research, citizen science and artist and designer residencies-in-lab.
The project researches innovative uses for biomaterials produced
from tree fungi. Researchers at TU Berlin create new materials from
natural sources. How and what you grow the materials on defines
its qualities. For this topic Art Laboratory Berlin brings together
artists, designers, scientists and the public to share knowledge
and experience new forms of creativity through exhibitions, talks
and workshops.
The exhibition shows how we have cultivated various tree fungi with
different media (i.e. on substrate such as sawdust), and produced
biomaterials with different shapes, structures and qualities. Some
current examples range from mycelium bricks to 'vegan leather' and
other design products. Videos and slide shows document the Art Science
project "Mind the Fungi", introduce the individual team
members and provide a deeper insight into the creative world of
an interdisciplinary work process.Regine Rapp & Christian de
Lutz (curators)
