Memories survive in the small AR mushrooms springing uparound the hall— where the visitors can discover what others have shared by interacting with a mushroom and tapping on them.
The ancient ecosystem was designed from the ground up. After an extensive exploration of the possible flora of this unique ecosystem we did a selection of trees, palms, lower plants and mushrooms. Each had a different function within the ecosystem and the interaction with the community.

Collector of stories, caretaker of the ancient sanctuary nourished by memories, ecosystem and the mediator in the interactivity with the community.
