Steve Thompson / Custom Fibre Optics (GB) – Mycelium Network

Event Introduction

Mycelium Network is a bespoke installation which is created on-site. It represents the intricate root structure of mycelium which thrives underground, hidden beneath our feet.  

Thousands of colourful animated fibre optic strands pulse and sparkle with various light intensity as if its alive and communicating with other organisms around it.

Complete with hundreds of  colour changing mushrooms the display is a captivating and mesmerising show  which draws you in and stop you in your tracks.

Fungi not only provide food and medicine for us but they also clean up pollution, restore forests and help other animals and plants thrive.
