Food Fantasy 2019

Visual Identity, Motion Graphics 2021 | Advisor: Ellen Lupton

Opening in 2180, Food Fantasy 2019 is a nightclub that researches, rediscovers, and prepares food from the lost paradise of 2019.

In the future, human behavior has radically changed the Earth’s climate. Food supplies are diminished. Humans retreat to protective shelters and replace their diets with nutrition bars made from insects and algae. 2019 is imagined as a memorable time in which everything tastes better.

A band of scientists collect recipes in order to cook lost dishes. Working with samples of genetic material, they develop artificial meats and gene-edited plants. They open an underground night club inspired by the past, called Food Fantasy 2019.

Food Fantasy 2019 helps people enjoy lost foods through research and speculation. Guests order by gesture from large menus projected in space, and they explore the unique data behind each lost food experience. When the food is served, the illuminated table displays the history of each dish.
