From open source kitchen hardware, to recipe databases there are many natural crossovers. However, food is not code. This talk will present a few projects that are attempts at hacking the food system beyond the screen and outside of the home kitchen. We will have copies of our new journal 'FoodPhreaking" on hand. Hacker and maker communities are increasingly interested in food, food politics and food security. From open source kitchen hardware, to recipe databases there are many natural crossovers. However, food is not code. Fantasies of on-demand, 3-D printed food are interesting to prototype, but they do not accurately capture the ecological, biological, cultural or political dimensions of the human food system. The values of free information and open culture are applicable to the food system, and hackers can help build these open systems and open cultures by following the organisms. This talk will present a few projects (Glowing Sushi Cooking Show, Vegan Ortolan Cooking Competition, Cobalt-60 Sauce, Smog Tasting & Curry for Cascadia) that are attempts at hacking the food system beyond the screen and outside of the home kitchen. Building on our talk from 2011's Chaos Communication Congress we want to share ingredients, databases, security flaws and ideas from the global food system that hackers can explore, exploit and experiment with. In particular we want to present the biological, ecological and cultural dimensions of the food system, answer questions, and brainstorm ways to strengthen and deepen the crossovers between foodies and hackers. We will have copies of our new journal 'FoodPhreaking" on hand.
