As part of a collaboration between Bailes+Light and Fat Fox Mushrooms at The Fungi Rooms in Tottenham, we created an adaptive installation that uses light to visualise fluctuations in humidity and airflow, critical to the mushroom cultivation process.

Using our in-house technology, OSCHII, the lighting responds to environmental changes in real time, ensuring optimal conditions for fungi to thrive. When the humidity in the tanks reaches a specific threshold, OSCHII activates fans to recirculate the airflow, creating a gentle mist that showers the fruiting bodies.
