🏆 Award of Distinction · Prix Ars Electronica 2013
“Mycotecture” by Phil Ross received an Award of Distinction in the Hybrid Art category of the Prix Ars Electronica 2013.
In the early 1990s I began growing a series of sculptural artworks using living fungus as an artistic material. These artworks were created by infusing live fungal cells into a pulverized-cellulose-based medium (sawdust).
