==== Edible Crafts: Table Vivant – Experiments in resilient creative cultural practices ====

Edible Crafts is a speculative design experiment exploring how the combination of food, craft and science can lead to resilient models for design. ECR looks at fully consumable, closed-loop design using edible and compostable materials sourced from local ecosystems.The experiment focuses on the table setting in the domestic space. Informed by culinary traditions, rituals of eating and the landscape, ECR designs a complete dining experience using a limited number of shared ingredients. In Table Vivant onomaterial design concepts based on food source are explored to design edible tableware for a table landscape that includes food, textiles, and 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.

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.
