the iTerrarium (2008)

The iTerrarium

The iTerrarium started as a recycling project, when the horror writer Nicholas Kaufmann decided to retire his Blueberry G3 iMac at the end of 2007.  The modification included removing the electronics but retaining such features as the speakers and the CD-ROM slot, sealing the inside to retain moisture, cutting out the handle on back for access to the interior, replacing the screen with standard window glass, and fitting and wiring a compact fluorescent fixture to the interior.  The plant is a Nepenthes hybrid with traps that complemented the color of the iMac, surrounded with long-fiber sphagnum moss and and a backdrop of cork bark.
