Possible Futures and How We Eat
Hailin Liu
Using speculative design methodologies, I imagine scenarios that offer a critical lens on our current consumption of food, while entertaining fantastical possibilities. For my thesis, I explored the future of food by mapping emerging trends amongst vegetarians and meat eaters and investigating food systems at different scales.
Pictured here an intimate dinner using handmade ceramic tableware offering only one food product: soybean. The dinner acts as a platform for discussing the future of food and weighs the ethical choices of this everyday act.
The idea for the installation is about the future of food in a larger system — the transition from the meat we eat now to the powder food we might eat in the future.
