john roach on 04 Oct 17"They grow in secret and yet form the largest living organisms in the world: mycelia, the subterranean filament of fungi. In this, the sound artist Antye Greie-Ripatti {AGF} sees a metaphor for political activism in the age of the Internet. Here, too, small cells are interlacing in the subsurface to effect the greater. For her radio composition "Mycelium" Greie-Ripatti therefore sonifies the vital functions of fungi and contrasts them with voices of activists from all over the world. This creates a multi-lingual sound network, which transports a quiet but sustainable utopia: Together we are strong."
