Abstract: How could we organize as MUSHROOM(-mycelium) - is the structuring desire of my current delving. It is fictionalizing the human as something that is able to become something else through taking care. It is rooted in a broader matrix of questions of WHAT, HOW and WITH WHOM an artist (everybody is an artist, who wants to be an artist) CAN do when mushroomy processes like disintegration and co-dependence appear tangible for very distant bodies at the same time. How could we is creating a research on what has been already tried and what practices of shared imagination could emerge at the moment. It is also acknowledging a common place that defines 'we'. What would we gain and what would we lose by not mentioning the 'we'? It is also about access or sensibility to technologies of collective intelligence. It is also about embodiment of the others. organize to hope through time to take agency to handle, again, take care to invigorate connections to bio-mime, -play, -think as MUSHROOM(-mycelium) as a not yet known as an overly complex as a more than itself ? The diverging ideas around the allure of mycelial-like organization unveil a visceral surrender to the need of singular approaches, fixed maps or comfortable stories. Possible answers demonstrates a post-disciplinary sensitivity for choreographies of ceaselessness.
