Feedback form is now closed.

In times of climate change and loss of biodiversity, we need to acknowledge that many natural resources are about to be extinct. So are certain foods. If the current rate of human destruction of the biosphere continues, a lot of food species, like cocoa, nut trees, peanuts and coffee will disappear forever. For many, those impacts may seem a world away from daily life, but the truth is that climate change and our actions affect all of us. And it’s headed straight to your plate.

Through the eyes of cacao you will experience this narrative. Cacao is a food and sound installation that takes you on the journey to reconnect with nature. You will discover the sweet sounds of biodiversity while tasting the bitter flavors of extinction that we are facing nowadays. Your body and senses are engaged to impart a transformative experience to inspire expanded states of awareness and connection.

This installation is an immersive multisensory experience that brings food and sound together in a holistic and unexpected way. Food experience designer Inés Lauber and composer Alexei Galar are pairing sound and taste – with the inspiration of gastrophysics’ research – to rethink and recreate food rituals and our connection to nature.

Inés Lauber is a conceptual food designer. She is raising awareness on the subjects of sustainability, seasonabilty, locality and maintaining biodiversity through storytelling and conceptual design. She creates concepts for the food culture of tomorrow.
