Bionic & the Wires

A fusion of technology, art and nature

Bionic and the Wires use bionic arms to enable mushrooms and plants to create music and visual art. Their art explores the intelligence and responsiveness of the natural world by transforming bio-electrical signals into artistic expressions.

Performances often feature mushrooms and plants controlling instruments and paintbrushes, creating abstract and intricate artworks and compositions.

Bionic and the Wires challenge the traditional notion that art is an exclusively human endeavour by demonstrating that creativity can emerge from unexpected sources in nature. By bridging the gap between technology and the natural world, their work reframes art as an act that transcends human hands, celebrating the inherent rhythms of non-human life forms. They question the anthropocentric view of creativity.
