The Center for Genomic Gastronomy
The Center for Genomic Gastronomy is an artist-led think tank launched in 2010 by Cathrine Kramer (NO) and Zack Denfeld (US) that investigates organisms and environments manipulated by human food systems. They have completed research and exhibited in Asia, Europe and North America, and have collaborated with scientists, chefs, hackers and farmers.
Their mission is to:
- map food controversies
- prototype alternative culinary futures
- imagine a more just, biodiverse & beautiful food system.
The Center's work has been published in WIRED, We Make Money Not Art, Science, Nature and Gastronomica and exhibited at the World Health Organization, Kew Gardens, Science Gallery Dublin and others.
