For Bundanon’s current seasonal exhibition program, Thinking Together: Exchanges with the natural world, Keg de Souza explores ways in which plants can teach humans. Working with ecologists and the on-site natural resources team, the artist explores the world of mycelium and fungi that thrive at Bundanon, engaging with the expansive knowledge-sharing that fungal networks provide other species.
de Souza creates a new multi-part installation that entails a range of human design systems overlaying those from the natural world, including audio biofeedback, historical scientific display designs and mind-mapping as a methodology for capturing human thought.
