Jon Ross

Jon Ross is the visionary force behind Bionic and the Wires, known for engineering custom bionic arms that allow plants and fungi to create music and visual art. A multi-disciplinary artist, technologist, and environmental thinker, Jon's work challenges human-centric views of creativity by granting non-human lifeforms the tools to express themselves. His practice spans kinetic sculpture, performance, and electronic - always driven by a desire to reveal the hidden intelligence of nature. Through his collaborations with mushrooms and plants, Jon pushes the boundaries of what it means to be an artist, and who - or what - gets to create.
