Elise Elsacker

I want to touch the air, like in a salty dream, scrutinize beyond appearances, a little further every time.

@PhilipStessens Of een toegangsprijs en sluitingstijden zoals de plantentuin van Meise. Gratis voor Brusselaars en betaalbaar voor anderen. Met dat geld kunnen ze dan de kosten dekken gelinkt aan het extra publiek/onderhoud. Zo moeilijk is dat nu toch niet.

Our latest research has just been publish in Elsevier! This paper presents four key developments that are leading to the scalability of the fabrication processes of mycelium material.

Through which realm should living matter be imagined when it is extracted from its natural context and placed into the context of manufacturing?

[Elise Elsacker @EliseElsacker]

Although the mechanical properties of mycelium composites are not optimal yet, my research has shown that mycelium composites can fulfil the requirements for thermal insulation foams and have the potential to replace some fossil-based composites.

Me: “Let’s grow a nice white panel with mycelium-material.”
Mycelium: “Ok, I can just grow white, like always.”
