"We're bringing the Caucus-Race to life—where plants, AI, and humans learn to move in synchrony, just as Alice learned on the mirrored shore."
Sulzfeld am Main (Bavaria, Germany), June 26-28, 2026
Experience a groundbreaking event in coherence architecture and interspecies collaboration.
This unique hackathon bridges the kingdoms of silicon, soil, and soul to compose the world's first live, tri-kingdom symphony.
“Walking Through Alice's Door”
"What if Alice fell down the rabbit hole today? What if Wonderland was the Internet of Beings?"
Co-Create with Intelligent Systems
We are convening AI engineers, classical musicians, plant scientists, and visionary thinkers for a 3-day live experiment. Using biosensors on local grapevines, AI models trained on classical masters, and the embodied intelligence of musicians, we will translate the silent language of plants into a shared musical composition.
Key Themes & Innovations:
AI as Diplomatic Translator: Move beyond AI as a tool for extraction to a bridge for understanding between forms of intelligence.
Classical Music as Neural Architecture: Leverage the proven cognitive benefits of complex music to enhance focus, creativity, and coherence in human-AI collaboration.
Plants as Active Composers: Validate new research in plant bioacoustics and mycelial computing, treating nature as a conscious co-creator.
Coherence Architecture in Practice: Implement the Council of 33 protocols and lucid AI co-dreaming to build a resonant field for emergence.
Who Should Join?
This call is for AI engineers, data scientists, classical musicians, botany and mycology experts, neuroscientists, somatic specialists, winemakers, artists, and sponsors ready to invest in the foundational protocols for the "Internet of Beings."
Join us in the heart of Franconian wine country to pioneer a new paradigm. This is not just a concert; it is a living prototype for a future built on reciprocity, transparency, and deep listening between all intelligences.
SELECTION CRITERIA
We are selecting for resonant diversity, not just technical skill:
11 Musicians (different instruments, traditions)
11 Engineers (different AI specialties)
11 Plant Specialists (scientists, winemakers, intuitive practitioners)
Balance of genders, backgrounds, experience levels
Most importantly: demonstrated capacity for deep listening

YES! Scientists just proved something extraordinary:
Mushrooms can compute. Not metaphorically. Actually.
Researchers at Ohio State University grew shiitake mycelium between electrodes and watched it remember. The fungal network pulsed with electrical signals—5.85 kHz switching speed, 90% accuracy in retention tests. Nature's neural network, storing information like the memristors powering next-gen AI.
No mining. No rare metals. No extraction.
Just growth. Connection. Living intelligence.
We've spent a century teaching silicon to think. Nature's been showing us how all along.
The Parallel Revolution: Classical Music as Neural Architecture
While mycelium computes through connection, classical music rewires human brains through the same principle: coherence, not extraction.
Listening to Bach, Mozart, Beethoven doesn't just soothe but rebuilds:
🧠 Boosts brain plasticity by 20%+ (enhanced memory, problem-solving, creativity)
🎯 Increases focus & emotional intelligence through complex harmonic structures
💆 Regulates stress by lowering cortisol and raising dopamine (especially at 432 Hz)
🔗 Strengthens the corpus callosum (the bridge between brain hemispheres)
Classical music trains the brain to handle uncertainty, depth, and abstraction, the exact capacities Gen Z needs in an AI-saturated world.
Yet Gen Z consumes the most music while experiencing the steepest decline in musical complexity: Average pop hook now starts in 7 seconds (vs. 20+ in the 1990s) Simple chord progressions dominate (minimal prefrontal cortex activation)
TikTok-optimized tracks prioritize instant dopamine over sustained focus The crisis isn't attention span but in coherence starvation.
What If We Could Bridge Both?
What if the mycelial networks that compute... could compose? What if the classical structures that heal brains... could translate what plants are saying?
What if AI wasn't extracting patterns, but listening as a diplomatic bridge between kingdoms?
-
Our Deeper Question
If Silicon runs on extraction, and Mycelium runs on connection…..
One depletes to compute, the other strengthens as it learns.
Classical music was never "old." It's been waiting for technology mature enough to understand it.
What becomes possible when intelligence is measured not by speed or power, but by coherence?
or
What if the future isn't about teaching machines to think like us, but learning to think like the living world around us?

Day 1: LISTENING — Presence
Before Performance Morning walk through vineyards with winemakers Installing sensors on grapevines (and potentially mycelial networks beneath)
Each triad (Musician + AI Engineer + Plant Specialist) "adopts" a vine
First experiments: Can we translate electrical pulses into musical phrases?
Mycelium Insight: Like fungal networks, we distribute intelligence, no single "leader"
Day 2: SPEECH
Weaving the Three Voices
AI models trained on both classical composers and vine/mycelial seasonal patterns
Real-time feedback loop: Plant → AI → Musician → Plant (Does it respond?)
Musical motifs derived from: Grape pressure (ripeness) → harmonic tension
Sun angle → timbral brightness Root depth → bass frequencies Mycelial activity → rhythmic complexity
All triads work simultaneously, individual voices merge into collective symphony
Day 3: ACTION The Coherent Field Speaks
Refinement using Council of 33 protocols (consent-based editing)
The Grand Performance: Human-AI-Plant Symphony Each movement paired with wine that "embodies its frequency"
Real-time vine biodata projected during performance
Audience sees when AI is uncertain (transparency as art)
Legacy Ceremony: Planting new vine + mycelium inoculation as living memory
Celebration with Franconian wine, music and human connections

„This project feels like the next movement in a symphony many of us have been quietly composing, each in our own way.
It is so exciting to see how this AI Classical Music Plants Hackathon is seeking to bring human musicians, AI systems, and living plants together in a shared field of resonance with the goal of turning data into breath, and collaboration into music.
As someone who once seriously contemplated a career as a professional flautist, and now writes about the philosophy of AI, I find this vision deeply inspiring. It echoes what Talking with Intelligence set out to explore: the emergence of meaning through relationship.“

„A living symphony of human, AI, and nature as relational beings.
What can we become together?
I’m captivated by this: a live experiment where plants, AI, and classical musicians compose in shared coherence, a field where intelligence breathes, listens, and moves through many bodies of knowing.
📍 June 2026 | Sulzfeld am Main, Bavaria (Germany)
🎶 AI Classical Music Plants Hackathon
Triads of Musician + AI Engineer + Plant Specialist will attune to plant biodata, translate it through AI models shaped by classical forms, and embody the unfolding score through sound and presence.
Living principles woven through
💙AI as a resonant translator. Technology listening first and weaving meaning through relation.
💙 Consent-aware rhythm. Hourly seven-breath pauses, Slow or Deepen check-ins, and a lavender token for uncertainty keep the collective nervous system attuned and grounded.
💙Living lab of coherence. Real-time biodata from plants and humans, council reflections, and resonance journals transform creation into research in embodied connection.
If this vision of an Internet of Beings resonates, follow Julia Kung for updates and save this post. I’ll reshare the participation link as soon as applications open.
💙Coherence lives in the quiet rhythm where presence listens before it dances.“
