City Culinary Journey

by
Liyuan Dong, Weichen Zhang

This is a microwave-based interaction experience where you can taste the signature dishes of a city and listen to its stories.

Set the city parameters in the tangible microwave, choose the ingredients and wait for the AI to find the prepared dishes.

The geographical environment and cultural atmosphere of a city influence its food. The cultural identity generated by food also plays a vital role in defining a city. In the project, users understand the relationship between the city and food.

My name is Dong Liyuan, and I am an interactive artist. My work explores urban experiences on multiple levels, aiming to understand a city’s various dimensions through physical interactions. I am particularly interested in how guiding audience experiences in tangible interactive installations can forge connections between individuals and their urban environments.
