Growth (2017)

Growth is an installation based on slime mould growth in the form of an interactive sculpture. The last project of a series of practice-as-research experiments, Growth, stemmed from a four-month-long collaboration bringing together four artists/designers from different disciplines: sonic arts, computational media design, architecture and technical theatre.

Growth explores topics such as:

  • the effect of tactile and sonic cues in inviting participants to engage with the interactive system
  • human-environment interactivity
  • perception of space through interaction and touch
  • experientially accessible design

Collaborators

  • Abdullah Soydan, overall soundscape and sounds that respond to various sensor inputs by participants
  • Gabriele Kuzabaviciute, the responsive tactile interface that uses multiple sensors and custom-built surfaces
  • Roxane Fallah, sculpture based on the growth behaviour of slime mould in a 3D space
  • Bianca Guimarães de Manuel, participant experience design
