The future beneath is largely comprised of research, exhibition, and programs. The first is a research and exhibition; it is a record of observations of the organic lives of germs (the source of “fermentation”) and human beings. The second is a performance that involves observing and eating cultured mushrooms or germs such as yeast that were grown on-site together with the audiences, ultimately collapsing the border between the organic and the inorganic. And finally, the collective has invited Myriagon, organized by curator Jenni Nurmenniemi and artist Tuomas Aleksander Laitinen who has constantly worked on “art & ecology” projects, to hold a lecture performance on “the good lives of diverse species” titled Myriagon 1: Word Worlds. Through this lecture performance, participants can inquire into the diverse layers of the organic and inorganic lives in our environment, including human life, and explore different manners of symbiotic living amid its interlaced complexity.
