Play, download and edit the free video LIFORM: Living megastructures.

LIFORM is an ongoing investigation on 'interspecies collaboration’ for the generation of soft megastructures, or how the collaboration between human and bio-organisms can change the world we live in. LIFORM is a curated process with the ambition to grow new types of complex morphologies using mycelium and weaving techniques. Designed ecosystems are the starting point for living megastructures. The goal of the current experiment is to create an ecosystem, a living harmony, by generating a suitable growth environment inside an incubator. The object of art, in this case, is the incubator itself, the ecosystem inside it and the process of structure formation.

People are always learning from nature and replicating different processes like growing food, cultivating pearls or creating nature-inspired designs. Our Anthropocentric presence is either altering or establishing all systems, and more than ever we are getting disconnected from our origins. The shift between the Anthropocene and Biocentrism, from hard to soft powers, requires introducing flexibility to improve the balance in our world by researching new possibilities for constructing living megastructures. The goal is to form environments finding a balance between analogue and computation, natural and artificial leads to the creation of a balanced environment, where we can collaborate with nature and let its intelligence fully unfold.
