TpED Worklab by Bartaku [e-Tapas tasting]

Guests during the STRP-Biennial participated in Baltan's successful TpED event: a Temporary Photoelectric Digestopian work lab and tasting session at the intersection of food and textiles, photosynthesis and biomimicry.

The Belgian artist Bartaku (Bart Vandeput) and French designer Carole Collet (Central St Martin’s College of Art and Design) presented strange, juicy, tasty ideas found in their study on the relationship between energy and food. They combine biology and nanotechnology and explore a future where designers become alchemists.
