In the unhurried space between stages, activated by @_jess_elliot, our Super TV grew into the branches of an old tree that acted like a shelf that we didnt make from nature, but nature made for us.

We streamed iconic cinema, nature documentaries, and self-cut films. The spirit of it was simple: sometimes art speaks in a gentle voice and theres no need for it complex. At times, the mind and soul just want to be entertained. To laugh, to drift, to pause. To let go for a moment.

Behind the scenes: For this edition we had to make our hardware robust for outdoor environments and evolve our system from a single split coax signal into multiple independent outputs, each CRT controllable on its own. A sprawling little infrastructure much like mycelium itself was born.
