design worth noting

In the future, eating will remain a challenge on various levels: meal times are shortening, inequities between the rich and the poor increase, the general quality of food decreases. Fat for Your Mind is a set of three plates intended at raising awareness about these questions.

The first is about time: the amount of time that we spend for a dinner becomes shorter and shorter, and this affects our social life as well as the quality of our nutrition. A Piece of Time shows people how much fractionating their time can affect their nutrition.

The second one is about quantity: the world of eating will remain divided in two parts: rich countries of the north that will have more than what they need and poor countries of the south that will not have enough to eat. Who is hungry? tends to evoke the inequities that will remain between rich countries, symbolized by the USA, and poor countries, symbolized by Africa.

Then the last one is about quality: mass production of food is engaging several new problematics such as GMO or cloning, the food industry and consumer don’t seem to consider enough the potential dangers. Plaaaaaaate tries to express the possibility of a distortion or a bug in the quality of the food that has been modified in its genome for the purpose of improving quantities.
