Taste Your Soil

Museum of Edible Earth (NL)

Taste Your Soil is a series of activities and programs designed to express that digital space is not a place to escape the real. Rather, both places – digital and real – stand and act in direct and inseparable connection to each other. Moreover, the project displays the expansion of Ars Electronica's cultural mission itself: technology needs to be deployed in a sustainable, connective and responsible way.
