Careta :

Future of Gastronomy

Our wearable prototype proposes to use our own body as the host to the photobioreactor, delivering the parameters such as carbon dioxide. Our body heat will permeate the warmth the bioreactor requires for growth of spirulina. The concept of vapourization is one of the alternate ways of consuming the” food of the future”. Careta will act as an external object which plays a significant role in aiding human cognitive processes. The mind and environment would behave like a “coupled system”. The utilization of our morphology to derive the concept of the masks is the perfect example of this coupled system. We propose this utopian idea to be accessible in this post-human world, where the machines and nature are integrating with each other to create a visionary era.
