Thesis
The goal
The goal of this project is to explore how humans and mushrooms can connect through bio-signals. By using sensors to capture human emotional responses and mushroom activity, the installation turns this invisible interaction into a visual and sensory experience. It aims to help people feel more connected to nature in a new and meaningful way.
MATERIALS USED
ELECTRONICS:
-> Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) sensors
-> TENS machine 3.5mm electrodes
-> Arduino
​
SOFTWARE:
-> Visual Studio Code
-> p5.js Editor
Takeaways
This project taught me that humans and nature are deeply connected, even in ways we can’t normally see. Using technology helped make these invisible signals between people and mushrooms visible and meaningful. I also learned how art and science can come together to create powerful, emotional experiences. Most importantly, it showed me that even small biological signals can tell big stories about connection and life.
