MycoGravity is an extraordinary art and research installation in which pink oyster mushrooms grow in a bioreactor on a KUKA robotic arm. As the arm constantly tilts and rotates the growth chamber, the direction of gravity keeps changing. This creates unexpected, almost sculptural growth shapes you never see in everyday life. Sensors and cameras track the process, allowing you to literally watch how the fungi react to an environment where "top" and "bottom" are not fixed.

Internationally leading FashionTech designer Anouk Wipprecht will present a selection of her iconic technological dresses in the glass window gallery of Huis van Delft. This is a window display that can be viewed from outside; visitors do not need to enter the building to admire the designs. Thus, during their daily route, passers-by will encounter futuristic, interactive fashion that responds to data, movement and interaction.

With designs that unite robotics, wearables, AI and haute couture, Wipprecht brings a new dimension of robotics to The robots are coming: personal, human-centred, creative and high-tech at the same time. Her work makes innovative technology directly visible in the everyday flow of the city.
