Speakers
Marije Vogelzang - is it food if you can't eat it?
What is the toolbox for designers working with food and how can we use the senses to act, communicate and shape a new food culture? A talk about the (philosophical) questions regarding food/eat - design and the senses.
Dr. Garmt Dijksterhuis - 'thwart cooking' and eating experiences
Inspired by the strict Futurists do's and don'ts in regard to dining and eating, Dijksterhuis worked together with creatieve chef Jasper Udink ten Cate to create 5 'thwart cooking' postulates, that aim to spawn the discussion about personal eating experiences.
Dr. Sanne Boesvelt - eating with the nose
How our nose guides our eating behavior, by signalling foods in the environment and steering our appetite.
Futurist Cookbook
The Futurist movement recognised that people 'think, dream and act according to what they eat and drink'. Futurist movement's founder F.T. Marinetti published the Futurist Cookbook in 1932; a provocative work about art disguised as an easy-to-read cookbook. The book developed recipes emphasising not only on food but also the importance of smell and tactile experiences. It incorporates the use of perfume, abandoning the use of fork and knives and the importance of aesthetics.
