Digital image The Sacred Sound project presents a visual discussion of trees’ ability to communicate through mycorrhizal fungi networks. Like most plants, trees have symbiotic relationships with the fungi that live on their roots. The mycorrhizal network functions on a huge scale and has been likened to an underground internet that connects entire forests. Using narrative techniques, the project tells a story that reflects alienation and a resulting return to contact, communication, and understanding. Alternative storylines are explored through one main video piece and a series of offshoot digital pieces. The digital images were produced in a 3d program and their material is partly produced using ai {Midjourney}. The combination of current technology and the idea of nature communicating through vast underground networks brings us to a possible point that separates us from the singularity.
