The only constant in life is change. This summer, Noo Arts will celebrate this concept by expanding their rooftop programming in Brooklyn across the river to a house full of arts on Governors Island. At a time when uncertainty and fracture can feel overwhelming, it is especially important to remember that breakdown precedes transformation—and that collective imagination and action shape what comes next.
Location:
Colonels Row Building on Governor’s Island (404A Colonels Row (aka 404A Comfort Road)

Welcome to the Island; Well Done, Everyone
Site-specific, spatial audio artwork by Michael McLoughlin
Welcome to the Island; Well Done, Everyone is a site-specific, spatial audio artwork developed in situ. The piece integrates sound, drawing, and social interaction, exploring migration cycles and connectivity across continents. Through a compelling analogy between the journeys of migratory birds and migrant people, the work raises urgent environmental and socio-political questions while inviting visitors to reflect on the interconnectedness of all systems—flora, fauna, and humans alike. Michael’s installation will remain on view for one month, offering visitors an ongoing experience of interaction, observation, and contemplation.
Honey Fungus
9-minute interactive VR experience led by a queer mycelial guide created by Jonah King
Guided by a queer, sentient mycelial entity, users navigate interactive vignettes where sensory actions shape the environment and AI-generated poetic spores reveal the Earth’s hidden vitality. Rooted in queer ecology and post-humanist thought, the project challenges boundaries between human and non-human life, exploring intimacy, identity, and ecological responsibility. Through VR embodiment, participants shrink through fungal layers, merging with the environment in a radical meditation on relationality, resilience, and stewardship.
Mushroom Music by Willow Gatewood
An immersive Mushroom Music installation which explores the hidden rhythms of fungi, creating a sensory environment where sound, space, and ecological imagination intersect.
