A band of floating mushrooms, 2010/2014

On the roof of the HEK appears an installation of interwoven aluminum mushrooms, which stand as metaphor for urban transformation. The paired up members of a band of mushrooms are fixed on a stem joint and, via wire connections, send signals to a PC-Server. In order to listen to the lively stream, it is possible to borrow headphones from the museum as well as to connect to the page https://transit504.ch/bofm/. The work was set up for the first time in 2010 and moved in 2014 to its new location, the HeK.
