ARTIST STATEMENT
The Nomadic Fungi Institute has been conducting Spore Sprouting Tests to ascertain if Nomadic Fungus spores can be coaxed into germination and encouraged to grow in a laboratory setting. This exhibition represents the culmination of two years of research and offers a step-by-step guide to the scientific procedures used in these tests.
Although the American government has yet to officially verify or for that matter acknowledge the existence of Nomadic Fungi, there is no doubt that a mutated, invasive fungus feeding on automobiles poses a very serious threat to humanity.
By collecting and then germinating Nomadic Fungus spores, The Nomadic Fungi Institute hastaken a dangerous but necessary step in proving once and for all that the existence of this voracious eater of cars is not an urban myth or the hallucinations of drug addled beatniks
Note: All lab samples contained within this exhibition have been sterilized according to the USDA Containment Guidelines and thus pose no threat to the public or their automobiles.
ABOUT THE NOMADIC FUNGI INSTITUTE
The Nomadic Fungi Institute is dedicated to the research and documentation of the mutated fungus classified as Nomadic Fungi. Our mission is to inform the public by way of exhibitions, publications and social media about the threat this fungus poses to modern life.
