Collaborative Cooking Machine

1
Collaborative Cooking is a project initiated and created by Christian Isberg, Petter Johansson Kukacka, Lasse Korsgaard and Carl Berglöf. The project is based on a digital platform that controls and intertacts with a physical cooking machine.

2
This is a way to explore how we will prepare and discuss our food in the future. Does cooking require a physical presence or is it possible to create and explore through digital platforms and experience food beyond the known limitations?

3
Collaborative cooking further examines the possibilities to cook together and is the beginning of a new era – an era full of new collaborations and innovations.

4
The cooking machine has 35 different functions/ ingredients that has been carefully selected and researched though a collaboration with the chef Carl Berglöf. Each ingredient has its own purpose and place in entirety.

5
The participants use the functions of the machine to add different ingredients in a pot. The machine in linked with the digital platform though an ordinary Internet connection where output creates input in reality.

6
This allows the participants to add the different ingredients in real life and directly into the pot. The project researches how different people will orient themselves in a given framework and what kind of interaction, discussion, collaborations and conflicts that creates when you respond to the other’s decisions.

7
This project examines how we can collaborate in the same structure and towards common goals. How we – through a framework and in relation to the other participants – can create a discus- sion that result in the cooking of a specific dish.

8
This is also a unique collaboration between a professional chef, anonymously participants and the creators of the framework. Can we, though this technology, create conditions for abstract dialogues about cooking?

9
And do we really need to go to expensive restaurants and meet famous chefs in order to have a stimulating dialogue about food and cooking?

10
This project opens up for an examination around the subject of cooking, dialogue, technology, interactivity and new ways to act in a kitchen.
