ACT FESTIVAL 2019: FOOD HACK
Technology has penetrated into
our lives some decades ago but we didn’t realize that it has already become one
of the most crucial parts of lives. I personally can’t imagine my everyday life
without technology, devices or gadgets, because it seems impossible not to face
up with technology at least once a day. Wherever we go, we can see a small
piece of technology that helps, make it more comfortable and more interesting.
But what about its future? How will it be in the coming years?
The first one I’ve seen is
Walk Through Cinema and it is literally a new experience where visitors can
enjoy the movie as they walk through the large screen. I felt amazed by the
moving large screen, how much pleasure it gives with the calming spring music
and showing the ‘A Stroll to Soswaewon, the Garden of Reflection’ by Haseo Kim
in Hoo. This movie embodies the four seasons of this classic traditional garden
of Korea and the audience can see history of it, how people enjoyed living by nature. This experience gives you a chance to have a feeling of a visit to
Soswaewon by just walking with the screen.
< ACC_R Creators in
Lab > is a platform for forward-thinking pioneers from different
disciplines including artists, designers, researchers, and engineers. It
supports experiments of projects based on knowledge and technology. In the
first half of 2019, ACT Showcase presents at the Creators in Lab innovative and
speculative projects of 9 creators who explore the theme of ‘Food and
Technology’. As you see each exhibition you will realize that there is much
more we didn’t know, more intriguing and informative.
I also had a chance to listen to some of
“Talk’ by ACC_R Creators in Lab artists as they share their innovative ideas and
practices with the visitors. Personally, I liked the talk about ‘Hid-cameras’
and their evolving problems in Korea. There have been many innovative and informative
presentations in English with Korean interpretations.
In the series of Lecture, speakers discuss the theme
of “hacking food.” The lectures provide insights into the future of food, from
eccentric dinners proposed by futurists and in vitro meat grown in labs to new
culinary experiences powered by immersive media. And overall, all this facility
included in one ‘Food Hack’ is enjoyed by a variety of people, and remembered
with the joy.
