As Told by Mold is an experiment revolving around a new way to use bacteria and fungi growth to make a living printer using biological process.
Printers get used every day and every time we do so we are using toxic inks and compounds while supporting a fast-rotating industry with low durability. Images on the paper are frozen in time, but what if we rethink the materials we use in our printers?
Instead of ink, we decided to experiment with using fungi and therefore create a living print. By using sterilized negatives we can control the fungi growth and create our prints. By feeding the fungi, over time it grows and continues to live and create its own prints using a living printer.
