An interactive exhibit offers a taste of the future

Consuming lichen for nutrition in the post-apocalypse, creating flavour with nothing but pure molecules, and dining on decayed food as modified human-hyenas: These are a few of the speculative scenarios presented in Edible Futures: Food for Tomorrow, which features works from 13 different artists and food designers from around the world. Organized by the Dutch Institute of Food & Design and showing in Toronto in January, the exhibit invites the viewer to imagine the many possible futures of food – thoroughly thought-provoking, if not always palatable.
