Exploring the connection between the surveillance state and junk food
An evening of snacking and hacking by The Center for Genomic Gastronomy and De PUNT.
This project uses Edward Snowden’s statement that he missed eating Dorito’s while in exile in Russia as a jumping off point to examine fast data and fast food in our global late capitalist society. Social media and junk food activate our brains in similar ways, momentary pleasure and novelty, but with long term consequences for our individuals and collective well being.
In this workshop we will prototype a range of open source Dorito’s recipes, place them on the deep web, and expose ourselves to non-corporate information tools and foods.
