How to go from beer to bio-based insulation panels?

Over the course of one weekend Mediamatic’s Myco Insulation Brewery will open up its lab and processes. As part of the Amsterdam Maker Festival you are welcome to join in the making and learn why we think that mycelium is the material of the future.

Daily brewing and laboratory sessions from 13:00 – 17:00. Scroll down for more info about the specific program/ time sloths.

From beer, to waste, to new fungal bio-materials

It is said that the mushroom, and especially mycelium has the potential to replace all sorts of (harmful) materials like plastics and batteries. Here at Mediamatic we are interested in the cultural and artistic implications of this ‘new’ bio-material and are currently developing our own bio-material factory: the Myco Insulation Brewery.

In the Myco Insulation Brewery we produce beer and grow mycelium insulation panels from the waste materials of this process. How? Join us this weekend! Our team will be there to share their expertise and we will have different samples for sale behind te bar.

Daily workshops from 13:00 until 17:00.
