Foodycle, transdiciplinary food festival coming up 12-13.9!
21 August 2013, Nathalie Aubret

Foodycle is a two-day event organised as a collaboration between Pixelache Helsinki and Ruoan tulevaisuus (Future of Food) and other partners. It is a transdisciplinary and participatory food festival that brings together food producers, artists, designers, scientists, grassroots organisations, students, and consumers in general. It aims to recover the true meaning of ecosystem thinking–a bridge between art, design and science–and a space for sharing ideas for sustainable food in the current and future Finland. The programme is organised in Viikki (12.9) and Suvilahti (13.9) around various interpretations of the food cycle, combining theory & hands-on workshops, providing both literally and metaphorically ‘food for thought’, as well as tools for participants to contribute to improving our food system. Foodycle is for anyone interested in food issues.

Project: Foodycle
The food system is not a chain as it is usually referred to, rather, it could be described as consisting of a multitude of interdependent cycles. Problematic issues with the prevailing food system have become increasingly publicised in recent years. Pollution in the Baltic Sea, the horse meat scandal, and animal welfare issues are just the tip of the iceberg. The response from food activists and also the general public has been a call for a more transparent food system.

19 August 2014 13:14, Andrew Gryf Paterson
Last year Pixelache & Ruoan Tulevaisuus initiated Foodycle, a transdisciplinary festival, for anyone interested in food issues. It brings together artists, designers, scientists, grassroots organisations, students, and consumers in general. It aims to recover the true meaning of ecosystem thinking – a bridge between art, design and science – and a space for sharing ideas for sustainable food in the current and future Finland. The second edition of Foodycle 2014, entitled ‘Fork off’, explores the notion of ‘food security’, which is fundamentally about access to food. The event is...

Post: Epilogue: Pixelache micro-residency on Food-info-activism
11 March 2013 16:12, John W. Fail
This post is made as the epilogue of my micro-residency at Pixelache during March 18-22 2013. You can find a post on my blog about my expectations and anticipation made on the first day, which was for me to make sense of the collaboration. It's been already two weeks after I've spent my time in Pixelache. It was rather short, in part because I was ill for a day, but also Pixelache's mode of operations was quite hard to comprehend in the beginning as to why Pixelache is interested in Food-Info-Activism. Having started mainly with electronic arts in its inception, it seemed Pixelache and its...
