Artist Statement:


    Fungi are everywhere, in the air, water, and soil, where they support and mediate between living and non-living. We Are Entanglement invites visitors into an immersive, interactive environment in which humans become part of the networks of communication through fungal networks beneath the floor of a forest. The artwork combines procedural modeling, generative AI, and dynamic simulation of vast numbers of living organisms. It is grounded in an imperative of drawing attention to the importance of nonconscious cognition and interspecies communication in biological and machine senses, as a reminder of the essential broader world around us.
