The Mycelium Network spans the globe.

​

As a group of artists, technologists, and scientists, our works coalesce in forming expanded reality installations and theatrical performances, both live and VR/AR theatre. 

Our network is a rich tapestry of talent, encompassing sound artists, actors, creative technologists, scientists, musicians, puppet makers, and educators. This diversity of skills and perspectives fuels our innovative approach to art and science. 

 

Tosca is the node that connects us. Her research and work as a GEM member (Genome, Environment and Microbiome Community of Excellence) SUNY at Buffalo, in Bio and Myco-remediation measures, our project-based work focuses on the intelligence of the interstitial that forms the living webs around us. 

 

Our mission is to make the invisible visible, to heal our connections within the shared environment,  and to inspire a shift in consciousness that moves us beyond thinking of ourselves as isolated individuals. This transformative power of our work gives hope for a more connected and sustainable future.
