FOOD FOR FUTURE – Call for entries
by museum on May 9, 2011 • 18:13 No CommentsFOOD FOR FUTURE
The first edition of FOODAM | Food Design & Art Museum is called FOODforFUTURE and aims to investigate the future of food, the frontiers of its consumption and manipulation. FOODforFUTURE examines the role of food in changing the future, rather than imagining how food itself will change. Imagining scenarios, applications, utensils and consistencies goes beyond merely transferring scientific and technological developments to comestible material. The initiative implies a redefinition of these ideas, the construction of new relational systems and an evolution in interpretive processes. Notwithstanding this analysis, the need at the base remains constant: to nourish. What changes is the language and the way of representing reality, even in its most ‘concrete’ and basic forms. The invitation to participate at the event is open to companies, students and visionary designers who wish to showcase their ideas and projects.
The project is been presented during the Salone del Mobile 2011 in Milan, Italy. During the presentation of FOODAM, a first selection of ideas, projects and food-design products which demonstrate the applications and future scenarios of food is been presented to the press.
