Temporary photoElectric Digestopians WorkLab

Date & time: Thursday 10 March 2011, 9:30-17:30
Location: Pajasali, Suomenlinna island

A co-creation worklab with research based experimentations on the transformation of light energy into electric energy with food. Fusing cooking and solar tech and designs, the participants will work with edible materials to create ‘e-tapas’ of different aesthetics and tastes. A principal role is for the Aronia Melanocarpa (Choke/Apple berry), one of the most powerful, anti-oxidant rich berries both in terms of kJoules and microWatts, entangled in a rich global historical narrative (see also other groWorld-parts). To be tested, tasted and appreciated on heliotropic tickling tongues.

No pre-existing knowledge required.
Max. nr. of participants: 16
