Re-Symbiont ?!
NO!W Across Lab applies ‘Non-Waste’ as its core value and cross-village as its action, with which regenerates the many aspects and vigorous possibilities of ‘waste’ in the field of exploring experimentation. We connected works with the theme of this year’s (2018) Taipei Biennial, traversing the question of making choice when facing the endangering ecological system made by global warming when we were doing our residency. This work is a compilation with three parts: ‘Crown shyness’, ‘Mycelium’, and ‘Pangaea Ultima’, showing the reusing of recycled material as a way of participatory art to invite our participants, while engaging from the network of Crown of sky, Pangaea Ultima of surface, and Mycelium of stratum, to provide a new perspective and reflect on the potentiality of the co-dependence of artificiality and nature, revitalizing the energy of ‘Non-Waste’ choices and the re-strengthening of change.

“Crown Shyness”, When Trees Avoid Touching
Crown shyness (also canopy disengagement,canopy shyness, or intercrown spacing) is a phenomenon observed in some tree species, in which the crowns of fully stocked trees do not touch each other, forming a canopy with channel-like gaps. The phenomenon is most prevalent among trees of the same species, but also occurs between trees of different species.

A fungus (fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, fungi, which is separate from the other eukaryotic life kingdoms of plants and animals.
6 ways mushrooms can save the world
Mycologist Paul Stamets lists 6 ways the mycelium fungus can help save the universe: cleaning polluted soil, making insecticides, treating smallpox and even flu viruses. Mycelium can be amazingly dense, with up to eight miles of cells in a single cubic inch of soil, and it branches out in networks that resemble human brain neurons.
How Earth Will Look In 250 million Years
Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. It assembled from earlier continental units approximately 335 million years ago, and it began to break apart about 175 million years ago. Pangaea Ultima is a possible future supercontinent configuration. Consistent with the supercontinent cycle, Pangaea Ultima could occur within the next 250 million years.
