Abstract

ABSTRACTPat Badani discusses how digital media and the use of food serve to design speculative new edibles in times when the future of food is jeopardized by the anthropogenically induced change in climate that causes biodiversity loss and food chain disruptions. Fertilized by different streams of thought related to food availability, Bichi is a practice-as-research project highlighting the need for ecological balance to secure the future of food. The artist examines the connecting threads between human and more-than-human nutrimental systems through projects that are born in her kitchen and further developed through computer technology. In the manner of culinary chefs whose professional kitchens act as design studios and manufacturing plants that innovate and transform ingredients; Badani’s kitchen is the springboard for DIY science in the creation of discreet sustenance networks between bio-sculpture material, mold, and fungi, leading to the design of evocative ‘animal-human-vegetal-polygender’ 3D simulations positioned between the organic and the computational. Exposing the porousness of boundaries between what might appear as separate registers: subject/object, fact/fiction, and science/culture, these electronically re-engineered bio-sculptures contribute knowledge essential to assure the resilience of nutritional systems, underscoring the need to channel efforts towards adaptation and balanced coexistence.KEYWORDS: Digital mediafuture of foodclimate changespeculative visual fictionspractice-as-research Additional informationNotes on contributorsPat BadaniPat Badani draws from the fields of art, science, and technology to explore the intersectionality of environmental and social justice issues.

“Bichi”项目的代谢途径、生物食物链和全球网络
【摘要】帕特·巴达尼(pat Badani)讨论了在人为引起的气候变化导致生物多样性丧失和食物链中断,未来的食物受到威胁之际,数字媒体和食物的使用如何设计投机性的新食物。Bichi是一个实践与研究相结合的项目,融合了与食物供应相关的不同思想,强调了生态平衡的必要性,以确保未来的食物。艺术家通过在厨房中诞生并通过计算机技术进一步发展的项目,审视了人类和超越人类的营养系统之间的联系。以烹饪厨师的方式,他们的专业厨房充当设计工作室和制造工厂,创新和转化原料;Badani的厨房是DIY科学的跳板,在生物雕塑材料、霉菌和真菌之间创建了谨慎的维持网络,从而设计了令人回味的“动物-人类-植物-多性别”3D模拟,定位在有机和计算之间。这些电子重新设计的生物雕塑揭示了主体/客体、事实/虚构和科学/文化之间可能出现的独立记录之间的边界的多孔性,为确保营养系统的弹性提供了必要的知识,强调了为适应和平衡共存而努力的必要性。关键词:数字媒体,食品,未来,气候变化,推测性视觉小说,作为研究的实践,附加信息,作者说明:巴特·巴达尼(patani Badani)从艺术,科学和技术领域探索环境和社会正义问题的交叉性。她经常用食物来创造融合美学和批评的艺术论点,描绘出艺术作为对象、媒介和艺术作为政治和技术网络批判的理论之间的联系。Badani在北美、南美、欧洲和亚洲广泛展出和讨论项目,并参加了超过15个国家的国际研讨会,其中包括苏黎世ZHdK文化研究所(瑞士);英国普利茅斯大学;美国加州大学洛杉矶分校艺术/科学中心+实验室;纽约大学斯坦哈特文化学院(美国);Kungl。Konsthogskolan /喀喇昆仑公路,(瑞典);博洛尼亚大学(意大利);卡尔达斯大学(哥伦比亚);以及Anhembi Morumbi大学(巴西)。项目已获得加拿大艺术委员会颁发的20多个奖项和委托;伊利诺伊州艺术委员会;DCASE;麦克道尔国家艺术基金会、罗伯特·海内肯信托基金;并获得了美国Creative Capital、Art Matters和AWAW的提名
