The exhibited samples are part of our experiments made to explore and understand the range of relations that build up during the process that goes from the properties of the shape, their interpretation by the robotic arm behaviour, material behaviour during and after the deposition, and mycelium colonization over time. For the full project details check the BIO EX-MACHINA research project article.
