Artist and mold enthusiast, June Curry, spent the month in a DIY laboratory curating neo-terrariums of fungus, protists, and computer chips to explore the inseparability of technology and biology. Her website lovingly documents the specimens as micro-celebrities, complete with glamor shots, rock star names, stats, and daily photo updates. In her lab diary, Curry catalogs her experiences with caretaking and discovery that, as with humans, some molds chose to fully embrace technology while others would simply rather die.

Her continued interest in microbiology and mold as an artform has been a way to explore life cycles, map the changes a life goes through, and debate when a death really occurs.
