Edible art

16. A form of art
• There is a new and emergent form of art,
edible art
• Claim: If food can be assumed as art, then
certain forms of gastronomy can be regarded
as high art, where revolutionary cooking is
one such example

37. Proposed idea (only physical aspects)
• Combining craving grains (or rice artwork)
while vibrating* them with heating plate**
• Chladni patterns of rice grains  two types of
dynamic
1) moving due to vibration
2) transforming due to the heat
*craved grains will bounce differently, **for puffing

38. Proposed idea (cont.)
• Perhaps we can also modified the “taste” to
pass a message? Feel like sommer, winter?
• After the performance we can still eat the
work 

39. Pandemic situation
• We are not allowed to interact closely
• There are some senses that can not
transmitted through internet
• Text, sound, picture, animation (2-d and
pseudo 3-d) can be delivered
• How about texture (soft, hard), taste, smell,
temperature (cold, warm), pressure,
immersive experience?

40. Measure, transmit, recreate
• An artist make a work that emits some senses
and experiences
• A sense is measured and saved as digital data
• The digital data is transmitted throug internet
• The received data is used to “recreate” the
sense in user / audience side (using machine)
• Perhaps it can substitue the “aura” of a work
of a class to support the deliver process

Summaries

42. Summaries
• Some rice-related arts have been shown
• An idea related to rice has been performed
• Recent technologies might help to bridge the
“distance” especially in teaching
• We need to transmit more senses than what
are now already available in order to feel
connected with others
