The project, set indefinitely in the future, features an insect-shaped bio-robot that explores artifacts of humanity and hybrid living beings, thus building an archive in the form of a digital museum of natural sciences and engineering. The protagonist, which is made of fungi, uses a network of mycelium to detect and store information and assumes the role of a scientist who is not influenced by existing Western methods of scientific research in designing the collection. The LivinLaVidaLoca exhibition presents a reflection on human supremacy and the possibilities for the technological development of non-human beings.
