PICA Day 7

In at PICA for a couple of hours while rehearsals for the Pilar & Tarryn opening were on… cheerleaders and an aerial acrobat - very cool!

Fed Hydra with brine shrimp from Friday (still alive) & Daphnia with algae. Physarum didnt need food, growing well.

very happy with the joints

crazy day tomorrow! off to bed

Is it possible to develop a different relationship between Candida albicans (commonly known as thrush) and humans by caring for it? How do we care for creatures that are not cute, furry or even visible? Is it appropriate – or ethical – to contain organisms in glass terrariums and keep them for our own purposes, aesthetic, cultural, educational or scientific? These are just some of the questions under investigation…
