Quotidian Encounters




We look. We listen. We smell. We touch. We taste. We navigate the world with our senses. Material qualities of manufactured goods have immanent and often overlooked potential to facilitate positive emotional experiences. By associating the experience of food preparation and consumption with positive emotions and memories, lasting emotional engagement can be achieved and meaningfully transcend the commercial aims of the food product.

Leveraging gestures derived from culinary techniques and traditional food practice, Quotidian Encounters elevates otherwise banal food experiences into gastronomic events.
