<\/a><\/p>\n Last week we the Center participated as speakers and artists in the Conjectural Futures Conference, a two-day event around foresight and forecasting in Berlin. <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The conference session, “(Inter-)planetary Conjectures” focused on how we will live on and with our planet in the future. The Center gave a talk about our work, specifically looking at the ways we use food as a mechanism for forecasting and creating new images of the future to debate and discuss. We focussed on two projects in specific: New National Dish: Portugal<\/a> and LOCI Food Lab<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Between sessions, the Center hosted a pop-up LOCI Food Lab performance, where visitors could choose from a selection of attributes, which would generate a unique bite-sized taster, composed of ingredients from the Central European Mixed Forest.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n Ingredient research and recipe development by Vilma Luostarinen<\/em><\/p>\n PESTICIDED POTATO SKINS<\/strong> PINE MONOCULTURE CRISPBREAD<\/strong> POPPY TAHINI<\/strong> WILD FUNGI<\/strong> BERLIN CURRYWURST<\/strong> NOT YET D.P.O.
