Mycotecture: architecture grown out of mushrooms

A webcast of this lecture is available here.
In this talk artist Phil Ross will present his ongoing research into growing structures out of living fungi (mycotecture). Mr. Ross will describe the remarkable qualities of fungal materials, how they are cultivated into being, and the sustainable value of assembly through decomposition.
The most recent manifestation of artists working at the intersection of art, science, and technology demonstrates a distinctly autodidactic, heuristic approach to understanding the physical and natural world. Intimate Science features artists who are engaged in non-disciplinary inquiry; they aren’t allied to the customs of any single field, and therefore have license to reach beyond conventions. This kind of practice hinges on up-close observation, experiential learning, and inventing new ways for the public to participate in the process. And through their engagement with “intimate science,” a more knowledgeable public might well be able to influence what research is supported and adopted by the larger culture, and the walls of science can become more transparent.
