MYCELIUM ORACLE

Artist Côme Di Meglio works with a mysterious living material: mycelium.
Mycelium Oracle is a sensory immersion specially designed for ChangeNOW.
You are kindly invited to enter this space, to hear and touch subterranean truths revealed by its oracular properties.

This dense network that makes for a living soil, connects the roots of trees, plants, and why not those of humans?

Maison Ruinart believes that artists play a crucial role in promoting the preservation of nature, a cause vital to the company. Ruinart recognizes the influence artists hold as trendsetters with a unique ability to connect with diverse audiences.

This installation, made possible by Ruinart's support, exemplifies their commitment to this belief.

BLOOMING GROUND


Human activities have shaped our landscapes, all too often leaving behind bruised territories.

Blooming Ground is interested in rehabilitating these areas through plant-based soil decontamination techniques, also known as phytoremediation.
To develop these techniques, it is necessary to find uses for these plants.

Blooming Ground's research involves finding and developing uses for the local territories' know-how. All the pieces presented here prove the potential of these plants in the field of fire art (here enamels on stoneware, porcelain and glass).

Depending on the elements extracted from the soil, a diversity of colors is obtained. In this way, we find color palettes linked to the historical and climatic context of the territory, suggesting other virtuous production methods with high added value.
