the iTerrarium (2008)

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.
