SUMMARY:The Sensory Arcade: Food as Language
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking for a unique way to connect with your peers and experience art and food together? Our team is thrilled to invite you to a special\, immersive event hosted by your fellow international graduate students: The Sensory Arcade: Food as Language. \n\nWhen & Where: \n\n\n\nDate: Monday\, May 18\nTime: 1:00 – 3:00 p.m.\nLocation: Graduate Student Commons\nFree Admission & Free Food\n\n\nPlease RSVP here to let us know you’re coming!\n\n—\n\nWhy you should join us:\nThis hands-on workshop and exhibition invites you into a softly-lit\, immersive environment to explore how food designers use tactile\, computational\, and narrative tools to reimagine how we connect with one another. Through interactive installations\, artist talks\, and a shared rice-themed lunch\, participants will experience food not just as a source of nutrition\, but as a medium for conversation\, play\, and community. \nOur event will include: \n\n\nRice-themed ice breaker game \n\n\nAn interactive food installation converting physical touch into acoustic sound \n\n\nAn exhibition and artist sharing session featuring works at the intersection of food design and Computational Media \n\n\nCommunal rice ball lunch \n\n\n\nWhether you’re interested in design and technology or just want to enjoy a creative lunch break\, we’d love to see you there! \n— \n\nLearn about our hosts below: \nEunsol Choi is an interaction designer and PhD student at UC Santa Cruz whose work centers on multisensory and edible interfaces. Drawing inspiration from food and flavor\, she designs tangible experiences that expand how we sense and interact with the world. Her research has been published and presented at ACM UIST\, CHI\, and CHI PLAY. \nLeyu Li is a London-based interdisciplinary artist and food designer whose practice spans installation\, narrative props\, and criteunical writing. Working across conceptual and speculative design\, she explores hybrid food systems and cross-cultural narratives through a research-driven lens. Her work has been exhibited at the London Design Festival\, Milan Design Week\, and Dutch Design Week\, and featured in ARTNews\, Dezeen\, and Mold Magazine. \nJiangyue Leah Wu is an artist and researcher at UC Santa Cruz working at the intersection of computational media and food design. She explores how multisensory intervention can create new modes of sociality and collaboration\, drawing on experience at Disney\, ByteDance\, and Central Saint Martins. Her work has been shown at Milan Design Week.
