Embodying mycelial logic to become the rain

This work emerged from an exercise in connecting to the non-human world by reading and coding rain. Through a process of collecting rain patterns and then mapping, extracting, coding, transcoding, decoding, and recoding them, an embodiment of language took place, which allowed for a deeper understanding of language, communication, interconnectivity, and adaptation. Each expression came from the previous one, forming an interconnected system that could feed back into itself, similar the way that mycelium functions. As a result, the work serves as a process or technique that could be developed to explore other systems and ways of communicating and connecting with all life. By decoding and recoding, connections emerge from seemingly unrelated entities, providing new insight and understanding, that could only arise through an embodied approach.
