At The Table: A Mycelial Game

@ Roman Susan

1224 West Loyola Avenue, Chicago, IL 60626

Opening Friday, June 24th, from 7:30PM - 9:30PM

In the fall of 2015 At The Table took on an experiment in social technology and community health inspired by mycelial communication (mushrooms!). Influenced by the mycelium network and their behavior, they explored models of community exchange that respond to individuals as members of a collective ecosystem.

Join us at Roman Susan to play the game developed and devised from a series of prompts made in response to the biological communication of the mycelial network. Participants will negotiate opportunities for exchange and co-create unfamiliar models of conversation and interactive activities to discover resilient and responsive new forms of social architecture.

Followed by a communal potluck – experiment, participate, communicate, and share a meal with us!

This event is part of programming for ROMANSUSAN.ORG/NO-DIVING – a site-responsive installation from Allison Lacher and Jeff Robinson. No Diving! serves to host artist-driven events on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays through July 24. More to come:
