Prima Materia.
Descend into primordial darkness, where the first eukaryotic whispers meet machine-born echoes. This pavilion is a living labyrinth of slime, spores, and spectral data—four chambers woven like mycelium. Origin stories blur into digital decay as fungi and algorithms guide visitors to an elemental ground zero, where myths mingle with computation and non-human intelligences gesture toward regenerative cultures and beginnings that are never only human.
