Culinary Forensics / Prototyping Food Cults

Zack Denfeld & Catherine Kramer

Food-secure eaters are increasingly concerned about testing and understanding the ingredients they put into their bodies. They are constantly on the lookout for allergens, GMOs and classes of food that have become socially downgraded (carbs, gluten, etc.)

This workshop gives participants a chance to experiment with a variety of food tests, and invent and create artifacts and rituals for future food cults. What kind of cultural rituals and norms may  emerge around ingredients in the near future, and what will the interfaces and interactions for keeping unwanted ingredients out of one’s diet look like?

Some of the tests we are considering are gluten and GMO related; some honey and fish will be analyzed, too.

In-Vitro Meat Workshop

Oron Catts

This two days’ workshop will cover the theory and practice of growing meat outside of the body of the animal using tissue engineering technologies. Percipients will learn the basics of culturing meat (mice muscle cells) and will explore different  methods that are currently developed in the area of in-vitro meat. The theoretical component will critically examine the scientific, ethical, ecological and cultural claims and narratives of cultured beef.

ArtMeatFlesh-tapahtuma Teurastamon Flavour Studiossa

Työpajankatu 2, Sörnäinen

This live cooking show forces two teams of artists and scientists to face-off in a kitchen, where they will confront lab grown meat, future food cults, a secret ingredient and the very strong stomachs of the audience. Join us to taste, debate or reject a future where meat from animals has disappeared entirely. The audience will be the judge of these recipes and rituals from the future, helping to decide if mankind should move towards automated protein factories or strange new festivals of excess and penance.
