Foraging/Walking Tour: "Eating Humans: Eating into Future Cosmologies"

Session Submission Type: Special Event

Abstract

Matthew Friday, Iain Kerr, and Petia Morozov are members of the art collective “spurse” (http://www.spurse.org/). Join them on a walking tour of the immediate neighborhood surrounding the conference venue, during which they will demonstrate ways of exploring and eating the world based on their "EAT YOUR SIDEWALK COOKBOOK” project. In the artists’ words: "How we eat is inextricably linked to how we think. How can we evolve new embodied and enactive eating practices to disrupt our current world views and allow for new ones to emerge?”

Meet in front of the Starbucks in the lobby of the Sheraton Boston at 9:50 for a 10:00 sharp departure.

Please note that there may be areas of the tour that are not wheelchair-accessible. If you have concerns about accessibility, please contact Jia Hui Lee at jiahui@mit.edu by August 28 so that we can make every effort to accommodate your needs.

This program proceeds the affiliated lunchtime workshop “Ingesting the Informational Imaginary,” where foraged artifacts will be served.
