synopsis
With a queer mycelial guide, this 9-minute interactive VR experience invites viewers to discover themselves through interactive fungal landscapes, where science and sensuality collide, revealing the hidden allure of the Earth. This sci-fi journey of ecological self-discovery follows the reproductive cycle of fungi. Like a spore, the viewer descends into fertile soil, encounters mushroom-human hybrids, and touches other spores that release tailor-made AI-generated ecological-erotic poetry. The journey culminates in an emergence into the global climate system. The work unravels the boundaries between human and non-human life.
