Media Files==== Edible Crafts: Table Vivant ==== **Experiments in resilient creative cultural practices.** Edible Crafts is a speculative design experiment exploring how the combination of food, craft & science can lead to resilient models for design. ECR looks at fully consumable, closed-loop design using edible & compostable materials sourced from local eco-systems.The experiment focuses on the table setting in domestic space. Informed by culinary traditions, rituals of eating & the landscape, ECR investigates designing a complete dining experience using a limited amount of shared ingredients. In Table Vivant onomaterial design concepts based on food source are explored to design edible tableware for a table landscape that include food, textiles, tableware & edible solar cells (Temporary photoElectric Digestopians), all produced with locally sourced ingredients. The table landscape serves as a medium to communicate principles of resilience and interdependency. <html><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/foam/8430895369/" title="leaky-loop-2 by _foam, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8075/8430895369_08194fe5af_b.jpg" width="1024" height="380" alt="leaky-loop-2"></a></html> 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 of the chosen plant is studied and a scenario for an ‘edible’ dining environment is designed. The experiment should be transferrable to different localities in Europe. * [[edible_alchemy| Project overview]] * Instructions on how to create your own [[resilience_thinking_diy | Resilience Thinking workshop]] * [[a_leaky_loop|A Leaky Loop]], the experience of Temporary photoElectric Digestopians * [[silients]] a conversation about the word 'resilience' ====== Further reading ====== * Interview with Carole Collet - http://www.3lectromode.com/?p=343 * MA Future Textiles, Central Saint Martins, University of London - http://www.csm.arts.ac.uk/ma-textile-futures/ Table Vivant is by the hands of [[http://www.carolecollet.com|Carole Collet]] (MA Textile Futures Course, CSM) and [[http://www.bartaku.net|Bartaku]] (FoAM) with the help of the Future Textiles CSM students.
