Hey,

here’s my video for tomorrow’s task. 

Unfortunately I was not able to upload it to the Sharepoint. Hope it’s okay if I just post it here… Or maybe someone else could try to upload it for me to the Sharepoint (the issue might be my bad internet connection at my girlfriends place).

Update:
here’s the two pictures missing in my video:

 

Oh and also sorry for the ass quality. Webcam videos suck.

Dear All,

Prof. Danielle Wilde (our guest speaker) just send in a request here………..
He invite you to make a 1 min. video in which you introduce yourself using a food-related object, artefact or practice that has a personal relationship for yourself, related to commensality.
 
The password: food
 
I know that this request came quite sudden. Yet, please try to prepare the video if you could. It seems Danielle would like to make use of them in his lecture. 
Thank you for your attention.

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.

One person’s lunch, simple but rich.
You don’t need a lot of calories to be able to have a delicious meal. Vegetables and fish, as well as fresh fruit, maybe the best match. It’s different to do it yourself.
There Is a lot of green~

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.

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.

No query required.
