Listening Laboratories: Sound performance & tasting

Описание: Listening Laboraties explores how knowledge about food safety is produced within emerging biotechnological and agricultural systems. Field recordings from laboratories, bioplastic facilities, and seaweed farms form the acoustic landscape of the performance, interwoven with live cello and sounds of materials.

The performance unfolds as a multisensory immersive experience, part concert and part taste laboratory. Through sound, taste, and poetic narratives, Listening Laboraties reflects on what it means for food to be considered "safe" in a world of ecological change.

Many thanks to everyone who supported the making of this performance. Special thanks to everyone at @WageningenFoodSafetyResearch laboratories who helped me tune into the intricate sounds of the various machines, to the colleagues from Unifarm and to the @WageningenFoodBiobasedResearch bioplastic testing facilities colleaguesand Seaweedland, who let us play cello for Ulva Lactuca to welcome this graceful seaweed on land.
