Anne Vlaanderen is an interdisciplinary designer, specializing in digital fabrication and mycology. Her expertise in fungal systems extends beyond material applications to a deep engagement with diverse fungal species' care, culture, and creative potential. As an instructor at the Willem de Kooning Academy (WDKA) in Rotterdam, she teaches digital fabrication and bio-integrated design courses. She has also lectured at the Biohack Academy at Waag. Her work has been exhibited at Teylers Museum at their first Art-Science event, demonstrating her commitment to bridging historical scientific inquiry with contemporary bioart. Building on her research, she explores collaborative pedagogies, AI-enhanced fungal interfaces, and post-anthropocentric design methodologies, ostering innovative approaches to learning and co-creating with living systems inspired by the adaptive and decentralized nature of mycelial networks.
