The computed audio artwork is called ‘Déguster l’augmenté’ created by Erika Marthins. She aims to add a new dimension to the perception of food and experience of meals. She has explored three desserts and transformed them into generative art pieces; the record made of chocolate that brings the sense of taste to a different sensation – auditory is what I especially admire. The regular records are made of wax; recreating the texture as well as the algorithm – the lines on the record that creates the sounds – using chocolate that can emulate it. The collaboration between the chefs, artists and scientists is incredibly innovative and unparalleled which brings attention to the creators’ ingenuity and artistic sensibilities. She achieves bringing a change into a highly common experience or a highly common object through a technological innovation, allowing us to interact with them to a whole new level.
