<div><font color="#000000">Amanda McDonald Crowley presents her
research at the intersection of art, food and technology. As a
curatorial project, ArtTechFood is a strategy to bring biologists,
environmentalists, food activists, and molecular gastronomists,
together with artists to deliver an interdisciplinary programme that
critiques the commercialization of food production, provides a space
to widen the discussion of our food systems to include environmental
issues and labor (immigrant) exploitation, and the framework to share
good food and meaningful conversation. The inclusion of artists and
experts from diverse backgrounds is intended to broaden the discourse
and move toward models of discussion and action in order to negotiate
this often obfuscated and confusing landscape.<br>
<br>
As the gastronome Brillat-Savarin noted three centuries ago, "the
discovery of a new dish does more for human happiness than the
discovery of a new star." Food is an essential product of our
reciprocal, sustaining relationship with the environment. It is also
one of the oldest cultural expressions, rooted in hospitality and
sharing. As concerns for the planet and the quality of our life upon
it intensify, there is no more immediate concern than that which we
put into our mouths and the pressures these acts place on the larger
systems that sustain us.<br>
<br>
