performance and magic mushrooms installation

“Symbiotic Noise” is a living, constantly evolving installation that intertwines bioacoustics, artificial intelligence, and local narratives to foster a dialogue between human and non-human networks in São Luís and Odemira. This project transforms the region’s natural materials and microbial ecosystems into a hybrid sonic-biomechanical organism. The work manifests as a responsive environment where music generated from real-time data interacts with a bioengineered “mycelial network,” sculpted from local organic materials.
Data is captured via silver electrodes and original software developed by the artist, which amplifies signals from fungi and hallucinogenic mushrooms, converting them into audible and visible bands. The installation thus becomes a magical performance and concert.
Robert B. Lisek is an artist, mathematician, and composer who explores the intersections between systems, networks, and processes—computational, biological, and social. His artistic work investigates themes such as artificial intelligence, bioengineering, information theory, and quantum physics, incorporating elements such as computer code, algorithms, artificial neural networks, and genetic sequences to explore the relationship between randomness and order.
He is also a composer of contemporary music, the author of numerous projects and scores at the intersection of spectral, stochastic, concrete, and noise music. He is the founder of the Fundamental Research Lab. His contributions include over 300 exhibitions and concerts, including: “GOLEM” at the ZKM Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe; “SIBYL” at IRCAM, the Centre Pompidou, and MAXXI – National Museum of 21st Century Arts; “APEIRON” at Ars Electronica; “QUANTUM ENIGMA” at the Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center and STEIM; “TERROR ENGINES” at WORM; and “DEMONS” at the Venice Biennale.
