Maria has an ongoing interest in developing creative practice in communication and research alongside fungi. She uses a unique mushroom communication device developed on residence at the AiiA festival working with Michel Zurcher which allows for Maria to investigate the responses of mushrooms to external physical and sonic stimulus.
