Anya Whitlock & Dave Guilleminot

Mushroom thoughts on a cup of tea

Medium: Ceramic and audio

Dimensions: Various

Price: $59 per cup / $79 per bowl

About:

The audio gives the mushroom cups their own voice. The audio is drawn from living mushrooms. Using a modular synth unit that has electrodes that hook up to living organisms. It reads the bioelectricity radiating from the mushrooms skin and translates this into sound waves. These play on an analog loop giving the mushroom cups their own world to chat about over a cup of tea.
