SYMBIOSIS/\DYSBIOSIS

Immersive, Live-XR Multiplayer Performance

Imagine if we could see ourselves and the spaces in between one another. Sentience opens a gateway into this hidden world, where human consciousness connects with the biodata of living fungi. By blending real-time EEG streams and bio-electrical activity from mycelium, this immersive XR experience transforms the imperceptible into a sensory journey.

The actors remain stationary within the space, appearing only during their scenes, where they virtually interact with guests navigating the VR Live Performance. Nanotopia’s live soundscape is performed in quadraphonic setup. Touch-sensitive pads around a sealed terrarium transmit biodata into the VR, allowing guests to interact by placing their hands on the pads.
