Minsu Kim- Living Food Project

This project explores new culinary experiences through developments in synthetic biology, and finds its lineage in haute cuisine and molecular gastronomy. I designed future dining experience where food behaves like a living creature entertaining us through an empathetic connection - what if food became alive like a fictional character? What if food was able to play with our cutlery and create hyper-sensations in our mouth? Synthetic biotech has already started to create artificial life in organic forms1)2), breathing life into artificial digestible forms in not merely a fantasy. In this respect I propose a future dining experience where food takes a life-form. In a material way, I experiment which kinds of impressions could be designed into the life-like food and how it would affect our dining experience
