Mycelium - {sound} art as underlying network for advanced {deeper} listening In admiration for the people's political activism. They grow in secret and yet form the largest living organisms in the world: mycelia, the subterranean filament of fungi. In this, the sound artist Antye Greie-Ripatti {AGF} sees a metaphor for political activism in the age of the Internet. Here, too, small cells are interlacing in the subsurface to effect the greater. For her radio composition "Mycelium" Greie-Ripatti therefore sonifies the vital functions of fungi and contrasts them with voices of activists from all over the world. This creates a multi-lingual sound network, which transports a quiet but sustainable utopia: Together we are strong. {text Marcus Gammel, Deutschlandradio Kultur} {sonification in collab w interspecifics and Anja Erdmann } Inspired by Peter McCoy and Radical Mycology Enforced by Eugenia Bone "Mycophilia" and Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing "The Mushroom at the End of the World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins"
