- | In Table Vivant, monomaterial design concepts based on food source are explored to design edible tableware for a table landscape that includes food, textiles, tableware & dye sensitized and edible solar cells (Temporary photoElectric Digestopians). The table landscape will serve as a medium to communicate principles of resilience and interdependency. | + | < |
- | The project has 2 complementary goals: | ||
- | - to explore how food generates both calorific (Joules) & electrical energy (Watts) & how this parallel can be taken into account when evaluating ecosystems. | ||
- | - to learn from traditional crafts, biology, biomimicry & food science to design environmentally resilient cultural experiences. | ||
- | The starting point are plants with properties suitable for making food, textiles & solar cells (e.g berries). Local ethno-culinary traditions, biological & ecological context | + | * [[Edible Alchemy]], an overview of the project |

- | **Mushroom Packaging** | + | |
- | "Packaging materials that are 100% renewable, and primarily made from agricultural byproducts and mycelium, a fungal network of threadlike cells. It’s like the “roots” of mushrooms. In 5 – 7 days, in the dark, with no watering, and no petrochemical inputs, the mycelium digests the agricultural byproducts, binding them into a beautiful structural material. The mycelium acts like a natural, self assembling glue. These low-embodied energy materials can be home composted when they’re no longer needed. This technology is a radical departure from traditional bioplastics. While feedstocks for bioplastics are typically food crops, we’re able to upcycle very low value waste products." | + | |
