PICA Day 23: Hydra vulgaris

Hydra are still not thriving after moving them away from the air pump vibration yesterday. Megs fed them and there seem to be tiny buds attached to the sides of the vessel - almost smaller than the newly hatched shrimp. Bought some rubber anti-slip matting for the air pump this morning and installed it to the drawer to dampen some of the vibration. Will also contact Southern Biological about some culture media. I miss them.

how do we change when we care for other bodies?

What does it mean to care for fruit flies, slime mold, daphnia, hydra, or soil nematodes in a gallery? 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…
