Food Age. Food as Influencer | La Galleria Nazionale | Rome.
31.03-28.05.2023
Food Age. Food as Influencer displaces and disconnects food from its natural environment — the private environment, where food is real, edible and part of everyday life — to relocate it in the public sphere (the museum) as a non-edibleand non-conventional piece. Once reconfigured as a prop, food becomes amodel for the representation of possibilities. In this realm, stripped of its basic nutritional or experiential functions, food can be activated as an influencer and be able to change our daily routines by acting through stimulating possibilities.
In the space between the real and our imagination.Food Age. Food as Influencer is the third exhibition in a trilogy that began with On Flower Power (2019) whose concept was based on the impossibility of incorporating empathy into artificial intelligence and was represented through the display of flower vases. Intertwingled (2022) was the second exhibition. Theterm “intertwingled” was coined by Ted Nelson in 1960 to define the complexity,changeability and indeterminacy of hypertexts running on connectingcomputers. The exhibition puts forward a vision of our globally interconnected world using the carpet as a metaphor and also as an interface that demonstrates and codifies a hidden complexity.
