As part of the residency Underground Network has been formed in response to the college as part of Light Night, focusing on systems of knowledge and how we access information through nature, technology and voice. Researching into the mycorrhizal network which is an underground hyphae created by fungi, connecting individual plants together by passing information. A collaborative text created by students on the mycorrhizal network is displayed across a section of the building's windows as a further resource for learning. Alongside this a performance takes place with students finding and reading aloud information from their phones in real time.

The performance will take place between 7pm- 7:30pm on Thursday 14th October.
