Excerpt from the jury statement:
Not since Lee Miller photographed a severed breast on a dinner plate in 1929 and Orlan’s performances of carnal art of the 1990s have we seen human flesh as food for thought. Veganism doesn’t seem too extreme compared to the impressive work of artist Theresa Schubert. Taking our obsession with meat, the realities of gene manipulation, and our food production realities, she really does make us eat hyper-locally. […] It’s bold and might even be shocking to some, but the reality is, if we treat our own bodies the way we treat the bodies of the animals that help us both to nourish us and to overcome disease, we might find commonalities instead of differences.
“Sound for Fungi” receives Prix Ars Electronica Honorary Mention
I’m thrilled to announce that my project “Sound for Fungi. Homage to Indeterminacy” has received an Prix Ars Electronica 2021 Honorary Mention in the Artificial Intelligence & Life Art category.
The jury composed of Jens Hauser, Kenric McDowell, Karen Palmer, Regine Rapp, Marleen Stikker wrote in their statement:
“Sound for Fungi brilliantly translates fungal art-science research and philosophical reflections on the nature of networks into a convincing way of audience interaction. In the context of current biotechnological research on local tree mushrooms conducted at the Technical University Berlin, Schubert experimented with the influence of sound inducement on mycelium growth and then developed a digital interactive media installation based on her results. […] Schubert’s interactive artwork not only makes the phenomenon of the subterranean network (Wood Wide Web) palpable but also convincingly incorporates aesthetic strategies of play and chance.”
