Food designer Giulia Soldati and chef Tommaso Buresti created a multi-sensory experience. By licking, touching, smearing and sharing our food from the same surface, we redefine our relationship to the food we eat.
Our creators want to give guests a better understanding of their meal. They will closely reveal the processes that the ingredients have been through and use seasonal and local products. In this way, the distance between ourselves and our food becomes even smaller.
For this dinner the chef and food designer did on-site research, worked together with local suppliers (including our very own aquaponics garden) and experimented in the Mediamatic kitchen.
Giulia Soldati
As a designer, Giulia Soldati uses food as a tool to explore the relationship with our bodies. In the modern West, we have created a lot of barriers between our sensory perception and the world around us. With A La Mano, she presents a new culinary experience and language that is closer to our essential sensorial experiences.
Tommaso Buresti
Italian Chef Tommaso Buresti grew up in the kitchen of his fathers restaurant. He cooks as long as he can remember, and loved to experiment with food. His background in Industrial Design influenced the way in which he looked at food and experimentation. He approaches cooking as research, with a delicious end-product. Previously he cooked at Milkwood in Cardiff. With Giulia Soldati, he sets out on a collaboration that not only brings great dishes, but a new culinary vocabulary and choreography as well.

Neo-Futurist Dinners
In the Neo-Futurist Dinner series, Mediamatic invites different artists to present their vision for the food of the future. In this way, we question the way in which food, art, science and politics intertwine.
