Interesting how I'm getting a little peckish at seeing these beautiful pieces of art, while at the same time my sense of aesthetics is incredibly tickled. So, eating (which is one of the most basic and natural things to do for a human being) becomes increasingly connected with the world of art. Or let's say: connected with culture to broaden it up a little. To me, these are interesting categories within the next nature debate. The same goes with sex. Anti conception (= technology) separated sex and reproduction forever. Nature became culture. But with this food design it's something like nature becoming culture and then becoming natural again. I have to rethink this, but first I need a sandwich…
