Register now for the Open Data Cooking Workshop in Helsinki

As of now until August 31 you can register for the Open Data Cooking Workshop that prozessagenten are organising with Pixelache. The workshop takes place on September 15 – 16 and is an experimental research on the representation of data with culinary means. The workshop explores ways to represent local data through the inherent qualities of food such as color, form, texture, smell, taste, nutrition, origin etc. It offers to its participants the opportunity to translate data in concrete, sensually experienceable matter, from the language of numbers into the language of food, and thus to gain unexpected insights into both media and learn about their inner constructions and relations. Find more about the workshop here and on the Pixelache website.

If you would like to participate, simply send a short email to opendatacooking@pixelache.ac that tells us a bit about your motivation and background. Experience in working with data is welcome, but not required. Actually we would like to explicitly encourage people with an interest in cooking to participate.
