"Mycelial Intelligence" reimagines the concept of intelligence through the lens of mycelial networks, challenging Western philosophical traditions that have long equated intelligence with hierarchy, separation, and domination. The project interrogates the colonial and patriarchal logic that reduced intelligence to abstract cognition, used it to justify oppression, and divorced humans from their ecological interconnectedness.

By centering the mycelium as both metaphor and model, the project proposes an alternative: a networked, communal form of intelligence rooted in entanglement and reciprocity. Mycelial networks demonstrate a relational intelligence that redistributes resources, supports ecosystems, and transcends binary logics—connecting scientific, spiritual, and ecological registers. This intelligence contrasts with Western traditions of objectivity and control, offering instead a vision of intelligence as communal care, chaos management, and holistic connection.

The project unfolds as a speculative carrier bag of ideas, presenting an archive of mycelial technologies, practices, and philosophies that expand notions of what intelligence can mean. From fungi’s capacity to heal environments and generate electricity to their spiritual applications in inducing altered states of consciousness, mycelial intelligence inspires a rethinking of human-centered narratives of progress and innovation. It entangles speculative philosophy with feminist technoscience, asking: How can we build systems inspired by the mycelium—systems that honor complexity, foster mutual support, and liberate us from anthropocentric frameworks?

Through curated materials, speculative visuals, and conceptual provocations, "Mycelial Intelligence" invites viewers to consider mycelial networks as models for epistemic liberation, communal care, and ecological repair. The project envisions intelligence not as domination but as entanglement—an ongoing, relational process that connects us to the land, to each other, and to the more-than-human world.
