A Wild Mushroom With Bionic Arms Plays a Synthesizer in the Woods
British collective Bionic and the Wires attached sensors to a wild mushroom in Snake Woodland near Glossop, Derbyshire. The mushroom's bioelectrical signals controlled bionic arms that played a keyboard connected to a synthesizer, producing an electronic song. The group also used lion's mane fungus in their studio to play synthesizer and trigger 50 words based on signal frequency.
