Digital prototyping second session 

Reflection and learnings(unlearnings?)
Working with Slow Processes - In our second digital prototyping session, we explored mycelium molding and preparation, along with clay printing. These processes unfold at a different pace than my known rhythm of prototyping. Mycelium experimentation demands careful preparation and time; it's a process that shouldn't be hurried, in my opinion. Clay preparation is intricate, requiring a precise water-clay balance for proper syringe printing. Both processes involve specific timeframes for drying or growing. Overall, these experiences triggered curiosity in both areas, and I look forward to further experimentation.

Prototyping with the Living - Prototyping with a living organism in our experimentation demands heightened awareness in each action. Respect for the organism is crucial, and precise preparation is needed to avoid waste or harm. Measures should ensure the organism thrives during and after the experiment. When working with mycelium, I think I would prefer engaging with it in its living state. I lack enough knowledge of its structure to speculate on collaboration, I'm still awaiting the evolution of the initial tests.
