Organic Mechanics

Sound II Light – Patchworks, London.

Organic Mechanics is a mixed media installation created by artists Nicole Gordon and Hannah Brown. The installation explores the fascinating parallels between natural organisms and man-made machinery, igniting curiosity in the complex relationships that exist between humanity, technology, and the natural world. The artists focused on the growth of fungal systems and mycelial networks, translating hand-drawn images into immersive laser projections that slowly evolve and transform over time. Like a modern-day computer, the underground networks of mycelial roots that connect vast fungal communities use the exchange of information in feedback loops to perform their own function.

The installation is accompanied by an eight-minute soundscape created by rRoxymore, blurring the lines between electronic and organic sounds with the use of spatial audio technology. Based on her album ‘Perpetual Now’, rRoxymore's soundscape takes visitors on a journey through tempo, texture, and emotion.
