Order of the Biodivine

Team Members:

Oscar Schrag, Rachel Gorman, Jessica Thies

I designed the artifacts in CAD, the visual language, strategy, and positioning.

Background:

Our speculative, immersive satirical theater experience explores the intersections of religion, science, and interspecies symbiosis in an increasingly climate-insecure world. Set in a coming-of-age ritual in 2070 and using performance, mycelium artifacts, and projection mapping, this allegorical work encourages a new perspective on our relationship with biodiversity, genetic modification, and the natural world.

Awards:

The 2022 Biodesign Challange Science Sandbox prize for Public Engagement
