(2) Each project will require ONE QR code. The QR code should connect viewers to a self-running presentation – a concise version of KISD presentation. (DEADLINE: also by next Wednesday, 3 March)

(3) Based on the self-running presentation, each team need to prepare a short VIDEO seperately. Then, we need a volunteer to help to put all short videos together into ONE final video which include the following information:

—[a] the NAME of the collaboration;

—[b] Names and Logos of KISD and PolyU Design;

—[c] a short introduction + time frame of this joint intiative.

—[d] Names of design, corresponding team members and the project tutors (Philipp, Benny and Stefan).

(DEADLINE: by March 14)

(4) Each group propse one ‘representational’ scent/ spice/flavour for your project (Ms. Manuela Catania will help to purchase and prepare that in Italy). (DEADLINE: by the end of tomorrow, 27 Feb)

Hope that’s clear to you.

Miro board and material

Benny and I had a meeting with Manuela from the Biennale today and we kindly ask you to put your diaries on the Miro board as mentioned below, add the one key contact to address for the Biennale – and additionally share max. 5 photos with us where Benny and I could select 1 or 2. Those images will then be exhibited on the walls, with a QR code next to it linking to a self-running presentation (basically your KISD presentation, but shortened). In addition, we would need a volunteer to put the short sequences together, add information (KISD, PolyU, Participants, Time Frame etc) so that it is self-explanatory. It will be shown at the Biennale as well. More info on the miro…

Your support needed to share material to finalize project and prepare exhibition

I just left a note on the miro board:

Please all put your Project Diaries (or links) at our presentation board. https://miro.com/app/board/o9J_lUyPm6Q=/

We also opened a frame there for some more visual material we ask you to share with us so that we could prepare a short movie of the story of our project (your commensality exercises, visual impressions of your research eg in shops etc.). Task will be this week to find a way with Manuela, the curator, to best exhibit your works.

So would be awesome if you could do this as Benny and I will talk to Manuela on WED morning. Let me / us know if you have any questions!

PRESENTATION TOMORROW

Hey guys,

as mentioned yesterday for the introduction of our presentation we need 1 image and 1 sentence that describes the outcome of each group on the miro frame called “FRIDAY PRESENTATION INTRODUCTION”.
By now we are still missing Group, 3,4 and 6. Please post your stuff asap so I can export the frame and see what you want me to say about your project in time!
Thanks.

Also here is the link for the zoom presentation room for tomorrow:
Meeting ID: 898 5376 5886
Password: 956963
https://th-koeln.zoom.us/j/89853765886

OUR PROJECT IS SCHEDULED FOR 13:55PM (German Time). PLEASE BE THERE AT LEAST 10 MINUTES EARLY.

For everyone that is interested, the other public presentations will already start at 11:00am (German Time).

Also we will have the opportunity to test if the breakout rooms idea is working at 10:00am. So if some of you would be there to try it with us that would be nice.

See you tomorrow! 🙂

Next steps and meetings

Thanks again for the excellent work and presentations you made last Tuesday, I was very impressed what you achieved in the last week!

Tomorrow at 1300 (Cologne) / 2000 (HK) we will meet for max 2 hrs to clarify some final questions for the KISD internal presentation that will take place this Thursday at 1400 (Cologne). As you know, this presentation will be around 20 mins, Benny and I will briefly introduce the project context and setting and then the groups will share their outcomes. Of course we can invite the audience to go deeper into single presentations (eg on a dedicated miro board). We could also think of giving a 5 mins overview and then inviting the audience (around 100 students) to join one of the breakoutrooms (we could install 7 of them) where the groups could present longer…so this is left up to you guys, but let´s discuss your suggestion including a pre-final draft of your presentation tomorrow.

As Benny shared the “Project Diary” structure and comments with you, this would be your documentation and course report at KISD.

Benny and I would then – around next week – have a look at your submitted work, your visuals and see how this could fit into the setting of the March Biennale in Italy. We will get back to you by the end of February and have a quick meeting ob March 2 with a few of you to clarify opportunities and work to do for the Biennale contribution.

So far for today – see you guys tomorrow!

1 2 3 … 9

The joint project will center around the challenges and opportunities of the issues of ‘changing habits during the Covid pandemic’ and ‘food value (ecological, economical, social/societal…) which we all are confronting and anticipating at the moment, and still likely to encounter in a foreseeable future.

In this international joint project, students from various cultural backgrounds (gathered from both KISD and PolyU Design HongKong) would require to team up (3-4 persons per group) and respond to the following questions with a critical, provocative design:

How relevant are local cultural heritages to the challenges of food production, waste, and safety?
How could a food preparing, cooking, or dining experience at home become enjoyable yet meaningful at the midst of (and after) the COVID-19 pandemic?
How would such experiences be conducted and promoted eco-friendly, effectively, efficiently, and economically among family members, friends
and personal social networks?
How does digitalization influence the way we prepare, enjoy, and share food/meals, and which new opportunities, practices, and habits emerge?

We will meet every Tuesday at 1200 UTC (1300 Cologne or 2000 HK) – and occasionally on some Thursdays.

Our Miro board can be found here: https://miro.com/app/board/o9J_kg7u6Js=/

We meet online in zoom at http://zoom.us/j/5504004040 using the code 2020 (new!)

Here we collect all about the team … to get to know each other without physically meeting!

During our project, we have the pleasure of having external experts and expertise in some of our meetings… Feel free to suggest, dive deep into the presented expert(ise), add and contribute.

Those are John Thackara, Dolly Daou, Danielle Wilde, and Elaine Ann.

Quick exercise for tomorrow

Pretty much on short notice, but easy to do: please see if you can make it (PolyU students, I know it is already quite late now!). Danielle asked me to share this little exercise with you:

Please make a 1min video in which you introduce yourself using a food-related object, artifact or practice that has a personal relationship for you, related to commensality.

Please upload the videos here: https://syddanskuni-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/wilde_sdu_dk/En-gfIIksRlAhl1o869V5dMBMeUZvd68qi1_HmaG-eEMWQ?e=KsFzR9

Eating with myself

Vegan Quesadilla:

Plant-based beef
Vegan Cheddar
Avocado
Bell pepper
Cream (damn! I lied the cream is dairy, this is not a vegan quesadilla- let’s say “vego”

My partner is from Mexico. Eating quesadillas is a daily ritual when we are based in Mexico, While in Hong Kong we eat them once a week perhaps due to access and expense of ingredients.

I am not a vegan nor a vegetarian, but eating less meat and finding alternatives is a relaxed but constant attempt, and for all the same motivations as most vegetarians.

Eat with myself

I made Carbonara, one of my favorite food, today for dinner. The making doesn’t require much effort, as long as one can find the right ingredients. It took me a while to find a western grocery. Western groceries are rare in the neighbourhood where I live. I am currently living in Suzhou, a city near Shanghai. I live in the Old Town, where most of the young generation have moved to the new cities. Ingredients like cheese or ham are not easy to find here. But there is plenty of wet markets, where you can find various types of seasonal organic vegetable and fruit. I will introduce more about the wet market later once I visit there.

Maybe we are supposed to take a picture before eating but I forgot.

The Carbonara is as thick and milky as I expected, though a bit salty. I think it’s because I was using the wrong bacon.

Eating with myself

This is my lunchbox today. Fried broccoli with beef and Quinoa. This is one of the common food that I always had for my lunch box. Since not a lot of food available for the overnight lunchbox, I almost had broccoli once per week. I think that’s a very normal situation for HK workers. If you don’t want to eat out (especially for the outbreak period), then lunchbox is common. Although it’s not delicious to have an overnight lunchbox, it’s more health and under budget control.
If you have any good lunchbox suggestion, please let me know as well. 🙂

Eating with myself!

This is the food I have prepared for myself. It is a Turkish dish, which consists of Kisir and Köfte. As side dish thin bread and hummus. Mostly I eat this dish with my hands. When I prepare this dish for my friends and family, we put all the ingredients in the middle and share the food together. My favorite ingredient in this dish is fresh parsley and mint. When you chop these ingredients it smells like you are standing in the middle of a garden.

Reminder for tomorrow

I saw 8 wonderful photos and explanations by you here in the spaces as a response to the first exercise. I put the photos on our Miro board, the others please add your experiences!

And don´t forget the small task of John (sorry to challenge you with two tasks) but please do not miss the opportunities to collect those fragments, share them and get feedback from us, from our guests – and from your fellow foodie students 😉

Eating with myself as a normal

This is the meal I ate at work. I actually eat alone all the time. Because everyone’s very busy here and we don’t have a set-up schedule for the lunch break. I normally eat while scrolling my phone or working in front of the computer screen. This time, I tried to just enjoy the meal mindfully.

The colleagues are all very nice and they always make jokes and laugh together. And they taught me a lot about work. However, I always feel lonely, feeling like an outsider or a spectator. Haha, I shouldn’t be this pessimistic. Anyway, I quite enjoyed eating lunch with myself.

Eating with myself

this is avocado sourdough bagel and vegan almond milk latte I dedicated to myself this morning.

even though it’s almost the end of semester now in PolyU and I don’t have much time making meals as I usually do, I still insist on making myself a healthy and fresh breakfast every morning to stay energetic for the day!

Eating With Myself – Designing my own German food?

Reibekuchen (Kartoffelpuffer?) burger

When a foreigner decides to change the codes of traditional German food…

Step by step:

Result:

About it:

In these days of the pandemic, I was craving for a burger.

In these days of the pandemic, knowing that Christmas markets won’t be organized in Cologne this year, I was also craving for Reibekuchen (I apologize in advance if you are from the team of Germans, saying “Kartoffelpuffer”, I was taught by someone from the team “Reibekuchen”). I invite all people who don’t know this German recipe to have a look here.

In these days of the pandemic, as a beginner in a low-FODMAP diet (more about FODMAPS can be found here), I invented a meal to fit with my needs.

But also to fit with my burger’s cravings, my memories of Christmas markets, and inspired (somehow) by German gastronomical heritage… for eating with myself 🙂

Eating With Myself

This is my simple meal, I mostly eat rice and nourish myself with a lot of vegetables and spices like turmeric and garlic. Lately I substituted white rice with red and natural rice. Fried rice always reminds me of the first dish that I have ever cooked in my life.
