Food Visions offers an immersive look into possible futures of food and provides an interactive experience of current research questions from food4future.
The mixed-reality exhibit digitally expands a real algae reactor and demonstrates how innovative indoor cultivation systems, novel foods, and science communication can work together. Visitors are immersed in three different future spaces, where alternative food sources such as algae, insects, jellyfish, and halophytes open up new perspectives on nutrition, urban cultivation, and resource use.
Food Visions brings together science, design, and digital education. The exhibit invites visitors to explore key questions about the food transition in a vivid way: What foods will play a role in the future? How can we produce food with minimal transportation distances? And how can new food systems be designed so that they are understandable, accessible, and acceptable to people?
As an interactive format, Food Visions provides easy access to current research topics from food4future. It makes complex topics visible, tangible, and open to discussion.
