Inspired by the interconnected communication of fungi “Myco” an interactive collection of mushroom drums that has spawned in Downtown Doral, FL. Created from recycled and upcycled plastic, from the original 2008 “ Pool”. Each “Myco” Cap lights up and resonates in harmony when touched, reflecting the symbiotic relationships within fungal networks.

Myco: meaning Mushrooms or Fungus, derived from Mycology, the branch of biology studying fungi, their taxonomy, genetics, biochemical properties and use by humans and Mycorrhizae, the symbiotic association between fungi and plant roots.

“Myco” is an immersive environment of mushroom drum sets, meticulously scattered across Doral Pocket Park in Florida. During the day, the sculpture’s works as a drum set, each mushroom having a different sound to allow for an orchestra of sounds across each cluster.

At night, “Myco” comes to life with full illuminated interactivity, engaging individuals and groups in collaborative play. Having the interactive sound and light technology combine to play and manipulate both wavelengths together. To play “Myco” users must actively touch the mushrooms. This inherent interactivity creates a unique community within the sculpture itself.

“Myco” is set to open to the public in 2024, offering an immersive and sustainable art experience that blends technology and nature in a geometrically intricate and environmentally conscious manner that resonates to connect play across all ages.
