Data Visualization Data Abstraction Critical Design Design and Food Systems Food Labeling Policy
This body of work is an inquiry of food packaging, its material role as a mediator of information, and its potential to communicate (or more often obscure) the complexities of our food system.Read the whole thing here.
To understand the impact and origins of the food we eat demands the understanding of a complex food system. Unpalatable examines food labeling as an active mediator of food information and knowledge, questioning its ability to suppress or reveal food origins, with particular care for food's impact on health, the environment, and human labor. If we must live with packaged foods, how should food labeling perform? In whose interest? What stories should it tell? Are those stories palatable?
