Among the artists shown in the lowbrow- and pop-themed section Littletopia was Hi-Fructose co-founder Attaboy. He brought his “Cradle of Life” ‘shroom-throne installation, which garnered many riders throughout the duration of fair. Attaboy also showed other recent works, depicting decomposing, yet vibrant lifeforms—and he hid some of them in the Los Angeles area in another edition of the “Game of Shrooms.”
